Psalms 49:6-13

Psalms 49:6-13 ERV

They think their wealth will protect them. They brag about how rich they are. But no one has enough to buy back a life, and you cannot bribe God. You will never get enough money to pay for your own life. You will never have enough to buy the right to live forever and keep your body out of the grave. Look, the wise die the same as fools and stupid people. They die and leave their wealth to others. The grave will be their new home forever. And how much land they owned will not make any difference. People might be wealthy, but they cannot stay here forever. They will die like the animals. That is what happens to all who trust in themselves and to anyone who accepts their way of life. Selah
