“For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others.”
Psalm 49:10 (BSB)
Context Reading
8For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice, 9that he should live on forever and not see decay. 10For it is clear that wise men die, and the foolish and the senseless both perish and leave their wealth to others. 11Their graves are their eternal homes — their dwellings for endless generations — even though their lands were their namesakes. 12But a man, despite his wealth, cannot endure; he is like the beasts that perish.
