American Standard Version
"But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish. "
— Psalms 49:12, American Standard Version
“Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.”
“But man, despite his riches, doesn't endure. He is like the animals that perish.”
“but, despite their wealth, people do not last, they are like animals that perish.”
“If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.”
“But man, like the animals, does not go on for ever; he comes to an end like the beasts.”
“Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.”
That he should still live alway, That he should not see corruption.
For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.
Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for ever, Andtheir dwelling-places to all generations; They call their lands after their own names.
But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.
This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. [Selah
They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd: And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.
But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol; For he will receive me. [Selah
