verse 11 They think their houses are for aye, to generations all Their dwelling places; and their lands they by their names do call verse 12 But man in honour being set abideth not a night: But he becometh like unto the beasts that perish quite.
verse 13 This way of theirs their folly is; yet their posterity Delighting in that which they s•y approve it vehemen••y. verse 14 Like sheep so are they laid in grave, death shall them feed upon▪ And th' upright over them […] morn shall have dominion.
