11 Their graves are their eternal homes,[a]
their homes from generation to generation,
though they have named estates after themselves.(A)
12 But despite his assets,[b] man will not last;
he is like the animals that perish.(B)

13 This is the way of those who are arrogant,
and of their followers,
who approve of their words.[c](C)Selah
