"This is the destiny of fools, and of those who approve of their philosophy.(Selah)"
— Psalms 49:13, NET Bible
“This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.”
“ This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. [Selah”
“This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. Selah.”
“Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? or shall I drink the blood of goats?”
“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.)”
“This their way is their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.”
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)
Do not be afraid when a man becomes rich and his wealth multiplies!
