12 Man in his pomp (A)will not remain;
    (B)he is like the beasts that perish.

13 This is the path of those who have (C)foolish confidence;
    yet after them people approve of their boasts.[a] Selah
14 Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;
    death shall be their shepherd,
and the upright (D)shall rule over them in the morning.
    (E)Their form shall be consumed (F)in Sheol, with no place to dwell.
