SEV Biblia, Chapter 49:17

porque en su muerte no llevará nada, ni descenderá tras él su gloria.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 15-20 - Believers should not fear death. The distinction of men's outwar conditions, how great soever in life, makes none at death; but the difference of men's spiritual states, though in this life it may see of small account, yet at and after death is very great. The soul i often put for the life. The God of life, who was its Creator at first can and will be its Redeemer at last. It includes the salvation of the soul from eternal ruin. Believers will be under strong temptation to envy the prosperity of sinners. Men will praise thee, and cry thee up as having done well for thyself in raising an estate and family. But what will it avail to be approved of men, if God condemn us? Those tha are rich in the graces and comforts of the Spirit, have something of which death cannot strip them, nay, which death will improve; but a for worldly possessions, as we brought nothing into the world, so it is certain that we shall carry nothing out; we must leave all to others The sum of the whole matter is, that it can profit a man nothing to gain the whole world, to become possessed of all its wealth and all it power, if he lose his own soul, and is cast away for want of that holy and heavenly wisdom which distinguishes man from the brutes, in his life and at his death. And are there men who can prefer the lot of the rich sinner to that of poor Lazarus, in life and death, and to eternity? Assuredly there are. What need then we have of the teachin of the Holy Ghost; when, with all our boasted powers, we are prone to such folly in the most important of all concerns __________________________________________________________________
