Psalm 49:10-12
Holman Christian Standard Bible
10 For one can see that wise men die;
foolish and stupid men also pass away.(A)
Then they leave their wealth to others.(B)
11 Their graves are their eternal homes,[a]
their homes from generation to generation,
though they have named estates after themselves.(C)
12 But despite his assets,[b] man will not last;
he is like the animals that perish.(D)

King James Version
10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
