Psalm 49:9-11

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁹that one should live on forever
and never see the grave.^[a]

¹⁰When we look at the wise, they die;
    fool and dolt perish together
    and leave their wealth to others.
¹¹Their graves^[b] are their homes forever,
    their dwelling places to all generations,
    though they named lands their own.
