Psalm 49:10-12

Darby Translation

¹⁰For he seeth that wise men die; all alike, the fool and the brutish perish, and they leave their wealth to others.

¹¹Their inward thought is, that their houses are for ever, their dwelling-places from generation to generation: they call the lands after their own names.

¹²Nevertheless, man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
