12 People, despite their wealth, do not endure;

they are like the beasts that perish.

12 Man in his pomp will not remain;

he is like the beasts that perish.

12 Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not:

He is like the beasts that perish.

12 but their fame will not last.

They will die, just like animals.

12 Even rich people do not live forever;

like the animals, people die.

12 But man being in honor abideth not:

He is like the beasts that perish.

12 Nevertheless, man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

12 But mortals will not continue here with what they treasure. 

They are like animals that die. 

12 But despite his assets, man will not last;

he is like the animals that perish.

12 Mortals cannot abide in their pomp;

they are like the animals that perish.

12 But man cannot continue in his pomp.

He is like the beasts that perish.

12 Even though people may be very rich, they don’t live on and on.

They are like the animals. They die.

12 But man in his pomp will not endure;

He is like the beasts that perish.
