Psalm 49:12
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But a man, despite his wealth, cannot endure; he is like the beasts that perish.
In context
10 For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.
11 Their graves are their eternal homes— their dwellings for endless generations— even though their lands were their namesakes.
12 But a man, despite his wealth, cannot endure; he is like the beasts that perish.
13 This is the fate of the self-confident and their followers who endorse their sayings. Selah
14 Like sheep they are destined for Sheol. Death will be their shepherd. The upright will rule them in the morning, and their form will decay in Sheol, far from their lofty abode.
