Psalms 49:10

“For he seeth--that is, corruption; then follows the illustration. wise . . . fool-- (Psa 14:1; Pro 1:32; Pro 10:1). likewise--alike altogether-- (Psa 4:8) --die--all meet the same fate.”

“He seeth - Every man sees that all men die, the wise and the foolish; the evil and the good. To others - He saith not to sons or kindred; but to others, because he is wholly uncertain to whom he shall leave them, to friends, or strangers, or enemies; which he mentions as a great vanity in riches. They neither can save them 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 49:11”
