Psalm 49:11-13
New Century Version

11 Their graves will always be their homes.
    They will live there from now on,
    even though they named places after themselves.
12 Even rich people do not live forever;
    like the animals, people die.

13 This is what will happen to those who trust in themselves
    and to their followers who believe them. Selah
