11. Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue forever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
12. Nevertheless man being in honor abides not: he is like the beasts that perish.
13. This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
14. 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.
15. But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah.
16. Be not afraid when one is made rich, when the glory of his house is increased;
17. For when he dies he shall carry nothing away: his glory shall not descend after him.
18. Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise you, when you do well for yourself.
19. He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
20. Man that is in honor, and understands not, is like the beasts that perish.
