Psalms 49:9-13 Modern English Version (MEV)

9. making efforts to live eternally,and not see the pit.

10. For one sees that wise men die,together the fool and the brute perish,and leave their wealth to others.

11. Their graves become their perpetual homes,and their dwelling places to all generations,though they call their lands after their own names.

12. But a man does not abide in honor;mankind is like the beasts that come to ruin.

13. This is their way, it is their folly;yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah
