Psalm 49:12-14
Modern English Version
12 But a man does not abide in honor;
mankind is like the beasts that come to ruin.
13 This is their way, it is their folly;
yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah
14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
Death shall be their shepherd;
the upright shall rule over them in the morning,
and their form shall waste away in Sheol,
far from their dwelling.
Psalm 49:12-14
New International Version
13 This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,(C)
and of their followers, who approve their sayings.[a]
14 They are like sheep and are destined(D) to die;(E)
death will be their shepherd
(but the upright will prevail(F) over them in the morning).
Their forms will decay in the grave,
far from their princely mansions.
