Al Tira (Ki Ya'ashir ish)

 
אל תירא כי יעשר איש


Al tira ki ya’asir ish ki yirbe kevod beito. Ki lo be’moto yikach hakol lo yered acharav kevodo.
אַל תִּירָא כִּי יַעֲשִׁר אִישׁ כִּי יִרְבֶּה כְּבוֹד בֵּיתוֹ.
כִּי לֹא בְמוֹתוֹ יִקַּח הַכֹּל לֹא יֵרֵד אַחֲרָיו כְּבוֹדוֹ. (תהלים מט)

Translation:

Be not thou afraid when one waxeth rich, when the wealth of his house is increased;
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; his wealth shall not descend after him.
