Psalm 39:7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
III
7 Man goes about as a mere phantom;
they hurry about, although in vain;
he heaps up stores without knowing for whom.
Psalm 39:7
New International Version
7 “But now, Lord, what do I look for?
My hope is in you.(A)
Ben Sira 11:18-19
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
18 Some become rich through a miser’s life,
and this is their allotted reward:
19 When they say: “I have found rest,(A)
now I will feast on my goods,”
They do not know how long it will be
till they die and leave them to others.[a]
