Psalm 49:14

They are like sheep and are destined to die; death will be their shepherd (but the upright will prevail over them in the morning). Their forms will decay in the grave, far from their princely mansions. 

They are like sheep and are destined 
Jeremiah 43:11  " 'He [Nebuchadnezzar] will come and attack Egypt, bring death to those destined for death, captivity to those destined for captivity, and the sword to those destined for the sword.' "
Ezekiel 31:14  " 'Therefore no other trees by the waters are ever to tower proudly on high, lifting tops above the thick foliage. No other trees so well-watered are ever to reach such a height; they are all destined for death, for the earth below, among mortals who go down to the realm of the dead. ' " [The fall of Assyria to Lebanon]

to die 
Numbers 16:29-30  "If these men die a natural death and suffer the fate of all mankind, then the LORD has not sent me [Moses]. But if the LORD brings about something totally new, and the earth opens its mouth and swallows them, with everything that belongs to them, and they go down alive into the realm of the dead, then you will know that these men have treated the LORD with contempt."
Job 21:13-15  "They [the wicked] spend their years in prosperity and go down to the grave in peace. Yet they say to God, 'Leave us alone! We have no desire to know your ways. Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? What would we gain by serving him?' "
Psalm 9:17  The wicked go down to the realm of the dead, all the nations that forget God.
Psalm 55:15  Let death take my enemies by surprise; let them go down alive to the realm of the dead, for evil finds lodging among them.

but the upright will prevail over them 
Isaiah 14:2  Nations will take them and bring them to their own place. And Israel will take possession of the nations and make them male and female servants in the LORD's land. They will make captives of their captors and rule over their oppressors.
Daniel 7:18  " 'But the holy people of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever--yes, for ever and ever.' "
1 Corinthians 6:2  Or do you not know that the Lord's people will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases?
