Psalms 49:12 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Psalms 49:12

10 For he sees wise men die;
Likewise the fool and the senseless person perish,
And leave their wealth to others.

11 ¹Their inner thought is that their houses will last forever,
Their dwelling places to all generations;
They ^acall their lands after their own names.

12 Nevertheless man, though in honor, does not¹ remain;
He is like the beasts that perish.

13 This is the way of those who are ^afoolish,
And of their posterity who approve their sayings. Selah

14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave;
Death shall feed on them;
^aThe upright shall have dominion over them in the morning;
^bAnd their beauty shall be consumed in¹ the grave, far from their dwelling.

Psalms 49:12

Contrasted with this vanity is their frailty. However honored, man

abideth not—literally, "lodgeth not," remains not till morning, but suddenly perishes as (wild) beasts, whose lives are taken without warning.
