Psalm 49:10-12

New International Reader's Version

¹⁰ Everyone can see that even wise people die.
    People who are foolish and who have no sense also pass away.
    All of them leave their wealth to others.
¹¹ Their tombs will remain their houses forever.
    Their graves will be their homes for all time to come.
    Naming lands after themselves won’t help either.

¹² Even though people may be very rich, they don’t live on and on.
    They are like the animals. They die.
