Psalm 49:12 in context

  1. 10For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.
  2. 11Their 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.
  3. 12But man being in honor abideth not: He is like the beasts that perish.
  4. 13This their way is their folly: Yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah
  5. 14They are appointed as a flock for Sheol; Death shall be their shepherd: And the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; And their beauty shall be for Sheol to consume, That there be no habitation for it.
