Psalm 49:10-12
Amplified Bible

10 
For he sees that even wise men die;
The fool and the stupid alike perish
And leave their wealth to others.(A)
11 
Their inward thought is that their houses will continue forever,
And their dwelling places to all generations;
They have named their lands after their own names [ignoring God].
12 
But man, with all his [self] honor and pomp, will not endure;
He is like the beasts that perish.

11 Their tombs(E) will remain their houses[a] forever,
    their dwellings for endless generations,(F)
    though they had[b] named(G) lands after themselves.

12 People, despite their wealth, do not endure;(H)
    they are like the beasts that perish.(I)
