Psalms 49:11-15
11Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.1
12Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.2
14Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.34
15But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.56
