Psalm 49:18-20
New Catholic Bible

18 When he dies, he will take nothing with him;
    his wealth will not accompany him below.[a]
19 Although during his lifetime he considered himself blessed:
    “They will praise me because I have done well,”
20 he will end up joining the company of his ancestors
    who will never again see the light.[b]
