Psalm 39:6

"Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom; in vain they rush about, heaping up wealth without knowing whose it will finally be."

Surely everyone goes around like a mere phantom 
James 1:11  For the sun rises with scorching heat and withers the plant; its blossom falls and its beauty is destroyed. In the same way, the rich will fade away even while they go about their business.
Job 8:8-9  "Ask the former generation and find out what their ancestors learned, for we were born only yesterday and know nothing, and our days on earth are but a shadow."
Psalm 102:11  My days are like the evening shadow; I wither away like grass.
Ecclesiastes 6:12  For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?
James 4:14  Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.

in vain they rush about 
Psalm 127:2  In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat--for he grants sleep to those he loves.

heaping up wealth 
Job 27:16-17  "Though he heaps up silver like dust and clothes like piles of clay, what he lays up the righteous will wear, and the innocent will divide his silver."

without knowing whose it will finally be 
Luke 12:20  " 'And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of grain laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry." ' But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' "
