Psalm 49:10-12

Good News Translation

^10 (A)Anyone can see that even the wise die,
    as well as the foolish and stupid.
    They all leave their riches to their descendants.
¹¹ Their graves^[a] are their homes forever;
    there they stay for all time,
    though they once had lands of their own.
¹² Our greatness cannot keep us from death;
    we will still die like the animals.
