Psalms 49:13-17 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

13. That is what happens to all who trust in themselves and to anyone who accepts their way of life. Selah

14. They are just like sheep, but the grave will be their pen. Death will be their shepherd. When morning comes, the good people will enjoy victory, as the bodies of the proud slowly rot in the grave, far away from their fancy houses.

15. But God will pay the price to save me from the grave. He will take me to be with him. Selah

16. Don’t be afraid of people just because they are rich. Don’t be afraid of people just because they have big, fancy houses.

17. They will not take anything with them when they die. They will not take their wealth with them.
