Psalm 49:16-19 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

¹⁶Do not be amazed when a man grows rich,

when the splendor of his house increases.

¹⁷For when he dies, he will carry nothing away;

his abundance will not follow him down.

¹⁸Though in his lifetime he blesses his soul —

and men praise you when you prosper—

¹⁹he will join the generation of his fathers,

who will never see the light of day.

— Psalm 49:16-19
