10. Surely one sees that even wise people die;fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass awayand leave their wealth to others.
11. Their grave becomes their permanent residence,their eternal dwelling place.They name their lands after themselves,
12. but, despite their wealth, people do not last,they are like animals that perish.
13. This is the destiny of fools,and of those who approve of their philosophy. (Selah)
14. They will travel to Sheol like sheep,with death as their shepherd.The godly will rule over them when the day of vindication dawns;Sheol will consume their bodies and they will no longer live in impressive houses.
15. But God will rescue my life from the power of Sheol;certainly he will pull me to safety. (Selah)
16. Do not be afraid when a man becomes richand his wealth multiplies!
17. For he will take nothing with him when he dies;his wealth will not follow him down into the grave.
