Psalm 49:18-20

New King James Version

¹⁸ Though while he lives ^(A)he blesses himself
(For men will praise you when you do well for yourself),
¹⁹ He shall go to the generation of his fathers;
They shall never see ^(B)light.^[a]
20 A man who is in honor, yet does not understand,
^(C)Is like the beasts that perish.
