8. (For the redemption of their soul is precious, and it ceases forever:)
9. That he should still live forever, and not see corruption.
10. For he sees that wise men die, likewise the fool and the senseless person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
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.
