Psalms 49:12 in Context — Psalms 49

10 Pois se vê que os sábios morrem, que o tolo e o bruto igualmente perecem; e deixam suas riquezas a outros.

11 Seu pensamento interior é que suas casas serão perpétuas, que suas moradas durarão de geração em geração;dão às terras os seus próprios nomes.

12 Mas o ser humano, ainda que em honra, não dura para sempre; semelhante é aos animais, que perecem.

13 Este é o caminho dos tolos e dos seus seguidores, que se agradam de suas palavras. (Selá)

14 São como ovelhas levados ao Xeol; a morte se alimentará deles. Os corretos os dominarão pela manhã, e sua beleza será consumida no Xeol, longe de sua morada.
