Psalm 49:20

Word of Yahweh

Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.

See the chapter Copy

So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath pacified.

Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;

Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.

Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not: he is like the beasts that perish.

But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
