Psalm 49:10-12
International Standard Version

10 Indeed, he will see wise people die;
    the stupid and the senseless will meet their doom
        and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inner thoughts are on[a] their homes forever;
    their dwellings from generation to generation.
        They even name their lands after themselves.
12 But humanity cannot last, despite its conceit;[b]
    it will pass away just like the animals.[c]
