Psalms 49:9-15

Leeser(i) 9 (49:10) And should he still live for ever? not see the pit? 10 (49:11) For he must see that wise men die, that together the fool and the brutish person perish and leave to others their wealth. 11 (49:12) Their inward thought is, that their houses are to be for ever, their dwelling-places, from generation to generation; they call them by their own names in various countries. 12 (49:13) Nevertheless man in his splendor endureth not: he is like the beasts that perish. 13 (49:14) This is their way, their folly: yet their posterity will take pleasure in their sayings. Selah. 14 (49:15) Like flocks are they thrust into the nether world; death will feed them; but the upright shall have dominion over them in that morning, and their form wasteth away in the nether world, taken away from their own dwelling. 15 (49:16) But God will redeem my soul from the power of the nether world; for he will take me away. Selah.
