New Testament

Psalms 49:14-19 New English Translation (NET)

14. They will travel to Sheol like sheep,with death as their shepherd.The godly will rule over them when the day of vindication dawns;Sheol will consume their bodies and they will no longer live in impressive houses.

15. But God will rescue my life from the power of Sheol;certainly he will pull me to safety. (Selah)

16. Do not be afraid when a man becomes richand his wealth multiplies!

17. For he will take nothing with him when he dies;his wealth will not follow him down into the grave.

18. He pronounces this blessing on himself while he is alive:“May men praise you, for you have done well!”

19. But he will join his ancestors;they will never again see the light of day.
