12 But despite his assets,[a] mankind will not last;
he is like the animals that perish.(A)

13 This is the way of those who are arrogant,
and of their followers,
who approve of their words.[b](B)Selah
14 Like sheep they are headed for Sheol;
Death will shepherd them.
The upright will rule over them in the morning,(C)
and their form will waste away in Sheol,[c]
far from their lofty abode.(D)
15 But God will redeem me
from the power of Sheol,
for he will take me.(E)Selah
