Psalm 49:17

Misplaced Trust In Wealth

¹⁶ Do not fear when a man becomes rich, when the wealth of his house increases, ¹⁷ because when he dies he will not take [away] any [of it]. His wealth will not follow down after him. ¹⁸ Though he congratulated his soul while he was living --and [people] will praise you when you do well for yourself--
