^20 (A)Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.

⁵ Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
    and ^(A)my lifetime is as nothing before you.
Surely ^(B)all mankind stands as a mere breath! Selah

⁷ nevertheless, like men ^(A)you shall die,
    and fall like any prince.”^[a]
