The Folishness In Trusting In Riches

Anyone can see that even wise men die,
     as well as foolish and stupid man.
they all leave their richest to their
     descendants
their graves are their home forever;
     there they stay for all time
     though they once had lang on their own.
A man's greatness cannot keep them from death;
     he will still die like animals.

See what happens to those who trust in themselves,
     the fate of those whose are satisfied with their wealth-
they are doomed to die like sheep,
     and death will be their shepherd.
The righteous will triumph over them,
     as their bodies quickly decay
     in the world of the dead far from their homes.
But God will rescue me;
     He will save me from the power of death.

Don't be upset when a man become rich,
     when his wealth grows even greater;
he cannot take them with him when he die;
     his wealth will not go with him to the grave.
