Psalm 49:10-14

¹⁰For it is clear that wise men die,

and the foolish and the senseless both perish

and leave their wealth to others.

¹¹Their graves are their eternal homes—

their dwellings for endless generations—

even though their lands were their namesakes.

¹²But a man, despite his wealth, cannot endure;

he is like the beasts that perish.

¹³This is the fate of the self-confident

and their followers who endorse their sayings.

¹⁴Like sheep they are destined for Sheol.

Death will be their shepherd.

The upright will rule them in the morning,

and their form will decay in Sheol,

far from their lofty abode.
