10For he seeth that wise men die, As well as the foolish and the ignorant; They perish alike, And leave their wealth to others.
11They imagine that their houses will endure for ever, And their dwelling-places from generation to generation: Men celebrate their names on the earth.
12Yet man, who is in honor, abideth not; He is like the beasts that perish.
13Such is the way which is their confidence! And they who come after them approve their maxims. Pause.
14Like sheep they are cast into the underworld; Death shall feed upon them; And the upright shall soon trample upon them. Their form shall be consumed in the underworld, And they shall no more have a dwelling-place.
15But God will redeem my life from the underworld; Yea, he will take me under his care. Pause.
16Be not thou afraid, when one becometh rich; When the glory of his house is increased!
17For, when he dieth, he will carry nothing away; His glory will not descend after him.
