Psalm 49:12-14

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

¹² But man, with all his honor and pomp, does not remain; he is like the beasts that perish.

¹³ This is the fate of those who are foolishly confident, yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!

¹⁴ Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol (the place of the dead); death shall be their shepherd. And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their form and beauty shall be consumed, for Sheol shall be their dwelling.
