Psalm 49:17

Misplaced Trust In Wealth

¹⁶ Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich,
When the glory of his house is increased;
¹⁷ For when he dies he will carry nothing away;
His glory will not descend after him.
¹⁸ Though while he lives he congratulates himself—
And though men praise you when you do well for yourself—

Away with Him
