12 But man shall not continue in honor; he is like the [a]beasts that die.

13 This their way uttereth their foolishness; yet their posterity [b]delight in their talk. Selah.

14 [c]Like sheep they lie in grave; [d]death devoureth them; and the righteous shall have domination over them in the [e]morning; for their beauty shall consume, when they shall go from their house to grave.
