NIVNew International Version (2011)

Their tombs will remain their houses forever,

their dwellings for endless generations,

though they had named lands after themselves.

People, despite their wealth, do not endure;

they are like the beasts that perish.

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Their graves are their permanent homes,

their dwellings from generation to generation,

though they have named estates after themselves.

But despite his assets, mankind will not last;

he is like the animals that perish.

NLTNew Living Translation

The grave is their eternal home,

where they will stay forever.

They may name their estates after themselves,

but their fame will not last.

They will die, just like animals.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Within them they think their houses are forever,

their dwelling places from generation to generation.

They name their lands by their own names.

But man cannot continue in his pomp.

He is like the beasts that perish.

KJV 1900King James Version

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.
