Psalm 49:17-19
The Message
Psalm 49:17-19
The Message
16-19 So don’t be impressed with those who get rich
and pile up fame and fortune.
They can’t take it with them;
fame and fortune all get left behind.
Just when they think they’ve arrived
and folks praise them because they’ve made good,
They enter the family burial plot
where they’ll never see sunshine again.
Psalm 49:17-19
New International Version
Psalm 49:17-19
New International Version
17 for they will take nothing(A) with them when they die,
their splendor will not descend with them.(B)
18 Though while they live they count themselves blessed—(C)
and people praise you when you prosper—
19 they will join those who have gone before them,(D)
who will never again see the light(E) of life.
The Message (MSG)
