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