10 For he sees (A)that even the wise die;
    (B)the fool and the stupid alike must perish
    and (C)leave their wealth to others.
11 Their (D)graves are their homes forever,[a]
    their dwelling places (E)to all generations,
    though they (F)called lands by their own names.
12 Man in his pomp (G)will not remain;
    (H)he is like the beasts that perish.
