9 no one can live foreverwithout experiencing the pit.
10 Everyone knows that the wise die too,just like foolish and stupid people do,all of them leaving their fortunes to others.
11 Their graves are their eternal homes,the place they live for all generations,even if they had counties named after them!
12 People won’t live any longer because of wealth;they’re just like the animals that pass away.
13 That’s how it goes for those who are foolish,as well as for those who follow their lead, pleased with their talk.Selah
14 Like sheep, they’re headed straight for the grave.Death will be their shepherd—but those who do right in their hearts will rule over them come morning!—their forms wasting away in the graverather than having some dignified residence.
15 But God will save my life from the power of the grave,because he will take me. Selah
