Psalms 49:10-15

10For he seethH7200 that wise menH2450 dieH4191, likewiseH3162 the foolH3684 and the brutish personH1198 perishH6, and leaveH5800 their wealthH2428 to othersH312.

11Their inwardH7130 thought is, that their housesH1004 shall continue for everH5769, and their dwellingH4908 places to allH1755 generationsH1755; they callH7121 their landsH127 after their own namesH8034.1

12Nevertheless manH120 being in honourH3366 abidethH3885 not: he is likeH4911 the beastsH929 that perishH1820.

13This their wayH1870 is their follyH3689: yet their posterityH310 approveH7521 their sayingsH6310. SelahH5542.2

14Like sheepH6629 they are laidH8371 in the graveH7585; deathH4194 shall feedH7462 on them; and the uprightH3477 shall have dominionH7287 over them in the morningH1242; and their beautyH6736H6697 shall consumeH1086 in the graveH7585 from their dwellingH2073.34

15But GodH430 will redeemH6299 my soulH5315 from the powerH3027 of the graveH7585: for he shall receiveH3947 me. SelahH5542.56
