Psalms 49:12. Nevertheless man being in honour abideth not:
He passes away. His grace, his lordship, his reverence, must lie in the grave. How ridiculous grand titles seem when once it is said, "Earth to earth; dust to dust; ashes to ashes." "Vain pomp and glory of the earth," indeed we may say, in the presence of the shroud and the mattock, and the grave and the worm. "Man being in honour abideth not."
Psalms 49:12. He is like the beasts that perish.
Not like any one beast, but like any beast that perisheth. He doth but live, and, as far as this world is concerned, he is gone.
