Verse in context — Psalms 49
For he seeth [that] wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
Their inward thought [is, that] their houses [shall continue] for ever, [and] their dwelling places to all generations; they call [their] lands after their own names.
Nevertheless man [being] in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts [that] perish.
This their way [is] their folly: yet their posterity approve their sayings. Selah.
Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
