New International Version (NIV)

16Do not be overawed when others grow rich,

when the splendor of their houses increases;

16¶Do not be afraid when a person becomes rich,

When the splendor of his house is increased;

16¶Be not afraid when [an ungodly] man becomes rich,

When the wealth and glory of his house are increased;

16Do not be afraid when a man grows rich,

when the splendor of his house increases.

16Be not thou afraid when one is made rich,

When the glory of his house is increased:

16Be not thou afrayd when one is made rich, and when the glory of his house is increased.

16Don’t be afraid when a man is made rich,

when the glory of his house is increased;

16Don’t get too upset when other people become rich.

Don’t be troubled when they become more and more wealthy.

16If somebody becomes rich

and he has more and more things,

do not be afraid!

16Do not fear when one makes wealth, || When the glory of his house is abundant,
