10 Everyone knows that the wise die too,
    just like foolish and stupid people do,
        all of them leaving their fortunes to others.
11 Their graves[a] are their eternal homes,

        even if they had counties named after them!
12 People won’t live any longer because of wealth;
    they’re just like the animals that pass away.
