¹⁰ They will all respond,
    they will say to you,
“You also have become weak, as we are;
    you have become like us.”^(A)

¹⁶ For the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered;^(A)
    the days have already come when both have been forgotten.^(B)
Like the fool, the wise too must die!^(C)

⁶ “I said, ‘You are “gods”;^(A)
    you are all sons of the Most High.’
⁷ But you will die^(B) like mere mortals;
    you will fall like every other ruler.”

²⁰ People who have wealth but lack understanding^(A)
    are like the beasts that perish.^(B)

⁶ those who trust in their wealth^(A)
    and boast^(B) of their great riches?^(C)
7 No one can redeem the life of another
    or give to God a ransom for them—
⁸ the ransom^(D) for a life is costly,
    no payment is ever enough—^(E)
9 so that they should live on^(F) forever
    and not see decay.^(G)
10 For all can see that the wise die,^(H)
    that the foolish and the senseless^(I) also perish,
    leaving their wealth^(J) to others.^(K)
11 Their tombs^(L) will remain their houses^[a] forever,
    their dwellings for endless generations,^(M)
    though they had^[b] named^(N) lands after themselves.

¹² People, despite their wealth, do not endure;^(O)
    they are like the beasts that perish.^(P)

¹³ This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,^(Q)
    and of their followers, who approve their sayings.^[c]
14 They are like sheep and are destined^(R) to die;^(S)
    death will be their shepherd
    (but the upright will prevail^(T) over them in the morning).
Their forms will decay in the grave,
    far from their princely mansions.
