Psalms 49:10 Context
8(For the redemption of their soule is precious, and it ceaseth for euer.) 9That he should still liue for euer, and not see corruption. 10For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the foole, and the brutish person perish, and leaue their wealth to others. 11Their inward thought is, that their houses shall continue for euer, and their dwelling places to all generations; they call their lands after their owne names. 12Neuerthelesse man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beastes that perish.
