8(For the redemption of their life is costly, And it faileth for ever;)

9That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.

10For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.

11Their inward thought is, [that] their houses [shall continue] for ever, [And] their dwelling-places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.

12But man [being] in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.

13This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah

14They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd; And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.
