Psalms 49:11-15

11Their 1 2inner thought is that their houses 3are forever And their dwelling places to all generations; They have 4called their lands after their own names.12But 5man in his 6pomp will not endure; He is like the 7beasts that 8perish.

13This is the 9way of those who are foolish, And of those after them who 10approve their words. 11Selah.14As sheep they are appointed 12for 13Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the 14upright shall rule over them in the morning, And their form shall be for 15Sheol 16to consume 17So that they have no habitation.15But God will 18redeem my soul from the 19power of 20Sheol, For 21He will receive me. Selah.
