11 [a]Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever,
Their dwelling places to all generations;
They (A)call their lands after their own names.
12 Nevertheless man, though in honor, does not [b]remain;
He is like the beasts that perish.

13 This is the way of those who are (B)foolish,
And of their posterity who approve their sayings. Selah
