14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;

Death shall be their shepherd;

straight to the grave they descend,s

and their form shall waste away;

Sheol shall be their home.t

15 But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,

for he will receive me. [Selah]

16 Be not afraid when one becomes rich,

when the gloryu of his house increases.

17 For when he dies he will carry nothing away;

his gloryu will not go down after him.

18 Though, while he lives, he counts himself happy,

and though a man gets praise when he does well for himself,

19 he will go to the generation of his fathers,

who will never more see the light.

20 Man cannot abide in his pomp,

he is like the beasts that perish.
