Psalm 49:13-15
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
13 Such is the fate of the foolhardy,
the end of those[a] who are pleased with their lot.Selah
14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
Death shall be their shepherd;
straight to the grave they descend,[b]
and their form shall waste away;
Sheol shall be their home.[c]
15 But God will ransom my soul from the power of Sheol,
for he will receive me.Selah
