English Standard Version

11 Their (A)graves are their homes forever,[a]
    their dwelling places (B)to all generations,
    though they (C)called lands by their own names.
12 Man in his pomp (D)will not remain;
    (E)he is like the beasts that perish.

13 This is the path of those who have (F)foolish confidence;
    yet after them people approve of their boasts.[b] Selah
