8 (Their soul's redemption precious is,and it can never be,)
9 That still he should for ever live,and not corruption see.
10 For why? he seeth that wise men die,and brutish fools alsoDo perish; and their wealth, when dead,to others they let go.
11 Their inward thought is, that their houseand dwelling-places shallStand through all ages; they their landsby their own names do call.
12 But yet in honour shall not manabide continually;But passing hence, may be compar'dunto the beasts that die.
13 Thus brutish folly plainly istheir wisdom and their way;Yet their posterity approvewhat they do fondly say.
14 Like sheep they in the grave are laid,and death shall them devour;And in the morning upright menshall over them have pow'r:Their beauty from their dwelling shallconsume within the grave.
