Psalm 49:10-14
New King James Version
10 For he sees wise men die;
Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish,
And leave their wealth to others.
11 [a]Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever,
Their dwelling places to all generations;
They (A)call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man, though in honor, does not [b]remain;
He is like the beasts that perish.
13 This is the way of those who are (B)foolish,
And of their posterity who approve their sayings. Selah
14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave;
Death shall feed on them;
(C)The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;
(D)And their beauty shall be consumed in [c]the grave, far from their dwelling.

Psalm 49:10-14
New International Version
10 For all can see that the wise die,(A)
that the foolish and the senseless(B) also perish,
leaving their wealth(C) to others.(D)
11 Their tombs(E) will remain their houses[a] forever,
their dwellings for endless generations,(F)
though they had[b] named(G) lands after themselves.
13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,(J)
and of their followers, who approve their sayings.[c]
14 They are like sheep and are destined(K) to die;(L)
death will be their shepherd
(but the upright will prevail(M) over them in the morning).
Their forms will decay in the grave,
far from their princely mansions.
