Psalm 49:17

Misplaced Trust In Wealth

¹⁶ Be not thou afraid, though one be made rich, or if the glory of his house be increased; ¹⁷ for he shall carry nothing away with him when he dieth, neither shall his pomp follow him. ¹⁸ For while he lived, he counted himself a happy man; and so long as thou doest well unto thyself, men will speak good of thee.
