Psalm 49:10

Misplaced Trust In Wealth

⁹ That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption. ¹⁰ For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others. ¹¹ Their inward thought is, that their houses'shall continue for ever, And their dwelling-places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.
