Job 3:19

19: Rich and poor are there alike, and the slave is free from his master.

Finally, the beggar died and was carried by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried,
and his soul went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Lazarus in the far distance with Abraham.

And just as it is destined that each person dies only once and after that comes judgment,

They trust in their wealth and boast of great riches.
Yet they cannot redeem themselves from death by paying a ransom to God.
Redemption does not come so easily, for no one can ever pay enough
to live forever and never see the grave.
Those who are wise must finally die, just like the foolish and senseless, leaving all their wealth behind.

Like sheep, they are led to the grave, where death will be their shepherd. In the morning the godly will rule over them. Their bodies will rot in the grave, far from their grand estates.
But as for me, God will redeem my life. He will snatch me from the power of death.
So don't be dismayed when the wicked grow rich, and their homes become ever more splendid.
For when they die, they carry nothing with them. Their wealth will not follow them into the grave.
In this life they consider themselves fortunate, and the world loudly applauds their success.

And I know that you are sending me to my death--the destination of all who live.

None of us can hold back our spirit from departing. None of us has the power to prevent the day of our death. There is no escaping that obligation, that dark battle. And in the face of death, wickedness will certainly not rescue those who practice it.

For then the dust will return to the earth, and the spirit will return to God who gave it.
