They leave all their prowess behind,
move into their new home, The Coffin,
The cemetery their permanent address.
And to think they named counties after themselves!
12We aren’t immortal. We don’t last long.
Like our dogs, we age and weaken. And die.
13–15This is what happens to those who live for the moment,
who only look out for themselves:

ESVEnglish Standard Version
Their graves are their homes forever,
their dwelling places to all generations,
though they called lands by their own names.
Man in his pomp will not remain;
he is like the beasts that perish.
This is the path of those who have foolish confidence;
yet after them people approve of their boasts. Selah

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.
This is the fate of those who trust in themselves,
and of their followers, who approve their sayings.

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.
This is the way of those who are arrogant,
and of their followers,
who approve of their words.
Selah

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.
This is the fate of fools,
though they are remembered as being wise.

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.
This is the journey of those who have foolish confidence,
and those after them who accept their sayings. Selah

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.
This their way is their folly:
Yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
