12. Nevertheless man being in honor abideth not. He is but a lodger for the hour, and does not stay a night: even when
he dwells in marble halls his notice to quit is written out. He is like the beasts that perish. Like the hunted beast which is doomed to perish, he
lives a brutish life and dies a brutish death. He is fatted for the slaughter,
and dies like the ox at the butcher’s. What room is there, then, for fear to
the godly when such natural brute beasts assail them?
