10 For one can see that the wise die;
the foolish and stupid also pass away.(A)
Then they leave their wealth to others.(B)
11 Their graves are their permanent homes,[a]
their dwellings from generation to generation,
though they have named estates after themselves.(C)
12 But despite his assets,[b] mankind will not last;
he is like the animals that perish.(D)
