Psalms 49:17 in Context — Psalms 49

15 Empero Dios redimirá mi vida del poder de la sepultura, cuando me tomará. (Selah.)

16 No temas cuando se enriquece alguno, cuando aumenta la gloria de su casa;

17 Porque en muriendo no llevará nada, ni descenderá tras él su gloria.

18 Si bien mientras viviere, dirá dichosa á su alma: y tú serás loado cuando bien te tratares.

19 Entrará á la generación de sus padres: no verán luz para siempre.
