"For he sees that wise men come to their end, and foolish persons of low behaviour come to destruction together, letting their wealth go to others."
— Psalms 49:10, Bible in Basic English
“For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.”
“For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others. ”
“For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.”
“For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.”
Truly, no man may get back his soul for a price, or give to God the payment for himself;
(Because it takes a great price to keep his soul from death, and man is not able to give it.)
So that he might have eternal life, and never see the underworld.
For he sees that wise men come to their end, and foolish persons of low behaviour come to destruction together, letting their wealth go to others.
The place of the dead is their house for ever, and their resting-place through all generations; those who come after them give their names to their lands.
But man, like the animals, does not go on for ever; he comes to an end like the beasts.
This is the way of the foolish; their silver is for those who come after them, and their children get the pleasure of their gold. (Selah.)
