Psalms 49:10 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

For he seeth Every man sees and knows it; it is visible and evident, both from reason and from universal experience; wise men die, &c. All men die, the wise and good, as well as the foolish and wicked; and leave their wealth to others He saith not to sons or kindred, but indefinitely to others, because it is wholly uncertain to whom they shall leave it, to friends, or strangers, or enemies; which he mentions as a great vanity in riches. They neither can save him from death, nor will accompany him in and after death; and after his death will be disposed of, he knows not how, nor to whom.

Psalms 49:10

10 For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.
