"but, despite their wealth, people do not last, they are like animals that perish."
— Psalms 49:12, NET Bible
“Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.”
“But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish. ”
“But man, despite his riches, doesn't endure. He is like the 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.”
so that he might continue to live forever and not experience death.
Surely one sees that even wise people die; fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass away and leave their wealth to others.
Their grave becomes their permanent residence, their eternal dwelling place. They name their lands after themselves,
but, despite their wealth, people do not last, they are like animals that perish.
This is the destiny of fools, and of those who approve of their philosophy.(Selah)
They will travel to Sheol like sheep, with death as their shepherd. The godly will rule over them when the day of vindication dawns; Sheol will consume their bodies and they will no longer live in impressive houses.
But God will rescue my life from the power of Sheol; certainly he will pull me to safety.(Selah)
