Psalm 49:18-20
International Standard Version

18 although he considers himself blessed while he’s alive.

Though people praise you for doing well,
19 you will end up like your[a] ancestors’ generation,
        never again to see the light of day!

20 Humanity, despite its conceit, does not understand
    that it will perish, just like the animals.
