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.
20. Wealthy people do not understand;they are like animals that perish.
