Render a digital art interpretation of the following narrative inspired by Job 27:13-18. Visualize a scene presenting the contrast between the temporary and the eternal. Depict a flock of sheep, symbolizing people who trust in themselves, led by death personified as a shepherd; with their forms decaying in the distance in separate graves away from their opulent mansions. However, in the midst of the gloomy scenario, introduce a ray of morning light that symbolizes the upright prevailing over them. Likewise, envision a divine figure, representing God, redeeming a person from this scene of death. The image should convey the fact that even though some individuals might amass wealth and splendor, it doesn't follow them in death.

Job 27:13-18 - "This is the fate of those who trust in themselves, and of their followers, who approve their sayings. 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. But God will redeem me from the realm of the dead; he will surely take me to himself. Do not be overawed when others grow rich, when the splendor of their houses increases; for they will take nothing with them when they die, their splendor will not descend with them."
