12The place of the dead is their house for ever, and their resting-place through all generations; those who come after them give their names to their lands.
13But man, like the animals, does not go on for ever; he comes to an end like the beasts.
14This is the way of the foolish; their silver is for those who come after them, and their children get the pleasure of their gold. (Selah.)
15Death will give them their food like sheep; the underworld is their fate and they will go down into it; their flesh is food for worms; their form is wasted away; the underworld is their resting-place for ever.
16But God will get back my soul; for he will take me from the power of death. (Selah.)
17Have no fear when wealth comes to a man, and the glory of his house is increased;
18For at his death, he will take nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.
