THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Psalms 49:14 in context
Psalms 49:11–17
11
Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever,
and their dwelling places to all generations.
They name their lands after themselves.
12
But man, despite his riches, doesn’t endure.
He is like the animals that perish.
15
But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol,
for he will receive me. Selah.
16
Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich,
when the glory of his house is increased;
17
for when he dies he will carry nothing away.
His glory won’t descend after him.
