New International Version
17 for they will take nothing(A) with them when they die,
their splendor will not descend with them.(B)
18 Though while they live they count themselves blessed—(C)
and people praise you when you prosper—
19 they will join those who have gone before them,(D)
who will never again see the light(E) of life.
