Psalms 49:12


← Psalms 49:11 Psalms 49:12 (KJV) Psalms 49:13 →
Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their own names.
Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.
This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
