“For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.”
King James Version (KJV)
49:10 He seeth - Every man sees that all men die, the wise and the foolish; the evil and the good. To others - He saith not to sons or kindred; but to others, because he is wholly uncertain to whom he shall leave them, to friends, or strangers, or enemies; which he mentions as a great vanity in riches. They neither can save them from death, nor will accompany him in and after death; and after his death will be disposed, he knows not how, nor to whom.
For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the foole, and the brutish person perish, and leaue their wealth to others.
