Psalms 49:11 in Context — Psalms 49

9 Le rachat de leur âme est cher, Et n’aura jamais lieu;

10 Ils ne vivront pas toujours, Ils n’éviteront pas la vue de la fosse.

11 Car ils la verront: les sages meurent, L’insensé et le stupide périssent également, Et ils laissent à d’autres leurs biens.

12 Ils s’imaginent que leurs maisons seront éternelles, Que leurs demeures subsisteront d’âge en âge, Eux dont les noms sont honorés sur la terre.

13 Mais l’homme qui est en honneur n’a point de durée, Il est semblable aux bêtes que l’on égorge.
