11 Their inward thought is that their house And [stately] dwelling-places shall Stand through all ages; they their lands [Therefore] by their own names do call.
12 Nevertheless none of them all [On earth] abide in honour must; Their flesh must perish as the beasts, That dyes and turns to [common] dust.
13 Thus brutish folly plainly is Their [boast and] chosen worldly way; Yet their deceived posterity Do [like and] follow what they say.
13 Thus brutish folly plainly is Their [boast and] chosen worldly way; Yet their deceiv'd posterity Do [like and] follow what they say.
14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave, And [hungry] death shall them devour; ⟨p. 79⟩And in the morning upright men Shall over them have [ruling] power. Their strength and beauty shall consume, And [it shall] perish in the grave; When carried from their houses, they Shall their [in dust] their dwelling have.
