Psalm 49:10-12

New Century Version

¹⁰See, even wise people die.
    Fools and stupid people also die
    and leave their wealth to others.
¹¹Their graves will always be their homes.
    They will live there from now on,
    even though they named places after themselves.
¹²Even rich people do not live forever;
    like the animals, people die.
