Psalm 48:8-14 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. no brother redeems, nor will man buy back. He will not give to God his appeasement,

9. nor the price for the redemption of his soul. And he will labor continuously,

10. and he will still live, until the end.

11. He will not see death, when he sees the wise dying: the foolish and the senseless will perish together. And they will leave their riches to strangers.

12. And their sepulchers will be their houses forever, their tabernacles from generation to generation. They have called their names in their own lands.

13. And man, when he was held in honor, did not understand. He has been compared to the senseless beasts, and he has become like them.

14. This way of theirs is a scandal to them. And afterwards, they will delight in their mouth.
