Psalm 49:10-13
King James Version
10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13 This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.

Psalm 49:10-13
New King James Version
10 For he sees wise men die;
Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish,
And leave their wealth to others.
11 [a]Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever,
Their dwelling places to all generations;
They (A)call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man, though in honor, does not [b]remain;
He is like the beasts that perish.
13 This is the way of those who are (B)foolish,
And of their posterity who approve their sayings. Selah
