Psalm 49:9-11
World English Bible

9     that he should live on forever,
    that he should not see corruption.
10 For he sees that wise men die;
    likewise the fool and the senseless perish,
    and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever,
    and their dwelling places to all generations.
    They name their lands after themselves.
