“But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts 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.”

“Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.”
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.
They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.
But God will redeem my soul from the power of Sheol, for he will receive me. Selah.
