Psalms 49:11-15

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

13This is the 7way of those who are foolish, And of those after them who 8approve their words. Selah14Like sheep they sink down 9to 10Sheol; Death will be their shepherd; And the 11upright will rule over them in the morning, And their form shall be for 12Sheol 13to consume 14So that they have no lofty home.15But God will 15redeem my soul from the 16power of 17Sheol, For 18He will receive me. Selah
