Their 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.
Nevertheless man [being] in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts [that] perish.
This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
Like 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.
But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and [men] will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
Man [that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts [that] perish.
