Psalms 49:10-15

10For he sees that even 1wise men die; The 2stupid and the senseless alike perish And 3leave their wealth to others.11Their 4 5inner thought is that their houses 6are forever And their dwelling places to all generations; They have 7called their lands after their own names.12But 8man in his 9pomp will not endure; He is like the 10beasts that 11perish.

13This is the 12way of those who are foolish, And of those after them who 13approve their words. 14Selah.14As sheep they are appointed 15for 16Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the 17upright shall rule over them in the morning, And their form shall be for 18Sheol 19to consume 20So that they have no habitation.15But God will 21redeem my soul from the 22power of 23Sheol, For 24He will receive me. Selah.
