8 This is the folly of their way; And yet their sons, as vain, Approve the words their fathers say, And act their works again.
9 Men void of wisdom and of grace, If honour raise them high. Live like the beast, a thoughtless race, And like the beast they die.
10 Laid in the grave like silly sheep, Death feeds upon them there, Till the last trumpet break their sleep In terror and despair.
