Psalms 49:10 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

He seeth; an impersonal expression. Every man sees and knows it; it is visible and evident, both from reason and from universal experience, that all men die, without any difference between wise and fools, good and bad. To others; he saith not, to sons or kindred; but indefinitely, to others because he is wholly uncertain to whom he shall leave him, 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 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.
