"For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others."
— Psalms 49:10, World English Bible
“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. ”
“Surely one sees that even wise people die; fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass away and leave their wealth to others.”
“For all the beasts of the woods are mine: the cattle on the hills, and the oxen.”
“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.”
“For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.”
none of them can by any means redeem his brother, nor give God a ransom for him.
For the redemption of their life is costly, no payment is ever enough,
That he should live on forever, that he should not see corruption.
For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.
Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.
But man, despite his riches, doesn't endure. He is like the animals that perish.
This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. Selah.
