Psalms 49:12 in Context — Psalms 49

10 Pues se ve que mueren los sabios, así como el insensato y el necio perecen, y dejan á otros sus riquezas.

11 En su interior [tienen] que sus casas [serán] eternas, y sus habitaciones para generación y generación: llamaron sus tierras de sus nombres.

12 Mas el hombre no permanecerá en honra: es semejante á las bestias que perecen.

13 Este su camino es su locura: con todo, corren sus descendientes por el dicho de ellos. (Selah.)

14 Como rebaños serán puestos en la sepultura; la muerte se cebará en ellos; y los rectos se enseñorearán de ellos por la mañana: y se consumirá su bien parecer en el sepulcro de su morada.
