16 Do not be overawed when others grow rich,

when the splendor of their houses increases;

17 for they will take nothing with them when they die,

their splendor will not descend with them.

16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased; 17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: His glory shall not descend after him.

16 So don’t be dismayed when the wicked grow rich

and their homes become ever more splendid.

17 For when they die, they take nothing with them.

Their wealth will not follow them into the grave.

16 Do not be afraid when one becomes rich,

When the glory of his house is increased;

17 For when he dies he shall carry nothing away;

His glory shall not descend after him.

16 Don’t be afraid of rich people

because their houses are more beautiful.

17 They don’t take anything to the grave;

their wealth won’t go down with them.

16 Be not thou afraid when one is made rich,

When the glory of his house is increased:

17 For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away;

His glory shall not descend after him.

16 Be not afraid when a man becometh rich, when the glory of his house is increased: 17 For when he dieth, he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him.

16 Do not be afraid when someone becomes rich, 

when the greatness of his house increases. 

17 He will not take anything with him when he dies. 

His greatness cannot follow him. 

16 Do not be afraid when a man gets rich,

when the wealth of his house increases.

17 For when he dies, he will take nothing at all;

his wealth will not follow him down.

16 Do not be afraid when some become rich,

when the wealth of their houses increases.

17 For when they die they will carry nothing away;

their wealth will not go down after them.

16 Do not fear when a man becomes rich,

when the wealth of his house increases,

17 because when he dies he will not take away any of it.

His wealth will not follow down after him.

16 Don’t be upset when someone becomes rich.

Don’t be troubled when he becomes more and more wealthy.

17 He won’t take anything with him when he dies.

His riches won’t go down to the grave with him.

16 Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich,

When the glory of his house is increased;

17 For when he dies he will carry nothing away;

His glory will not descend after him.
