For he seeth. — The clauses are wrongly divided in the Authorised Version. Translate —

“On the contrary he must see it (the grave),
Wise men must die ...

Likewise the fool and the stupid must perish.”

The wealth of the prudent will not avail any more for indefinite prolongation of life, than that of fools.

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