{Psalms 49:12} Nevertheless man 120 [being] in honour 3366 abideth 3885 z8799 not: x1077 he is like 4911 z8738 the beasts 929 [that] perish. 1820 z8738
in honour:
"Manª [that is] in honour,ª and understandethª° not,¹ is likeª° the beastsª [that] perish.ª°" {Psa 49:20} + "Behold,¹ thou hast madeª° my daysª [as] an handbreadth;ª and mine ageª [is] as nothing¹ before¹ thee: verily¹ everyª manª at his best stateª° [is] altogetherª vanity.ª Selah.ª" {Psa 39:5} + "Butª ye shall dieª° like men,ª and fallª° like oneª of the princes.ª" {Psa 82:7} + "Butª the¹ rich,ª inª that he²¹ is made low:ª becauseª asª the flowerª of the grassª he shall pass away.ª° ... Forª the¹ sunª is no sooner risenª° withª a burning heat,ª butª it witherethª° the¹ grass,ª andª the¹ flowerª thereofª falleth,ª° andª the¹ graceª of the¹ fashionª of itª perisheth:ª° soª alsoª shall²° the¹ rich manª fade awayª° inª his²¹ ways.ª" {Jms 1:10-11} + "Forª allª fleshª [is] asª grass,ª andª allª the gloryª of manª asª the flowerª of grass.ª The¹ grassª withereth,ª° andª the¹ flowerª thereofª falleth away:ª°" {1Pe 1:24}
abideth:
The word yalin, rendered abideth, signifies to lodge for a night. Man's continuance in the world, or in honour or distinction, resembles a traveller's lodging at an inn, whence he removes in the morning; and is frequently far more transient and evanescent.
beasts:
"I¹ saidª° in mine heartª concerning¹ the estateª of the sonsª of men,ª that Godª might manifestª° them, and that they¹ might seeª° that they²¹ themselves are beasts.ª ... Who¹ knowethª° the spiritª of manª² that¹ goethª° upward,ª and the spiritª of the beastª that¹ goethª° downwardª to the earth?ª" {Ecc 3:18-21} + "For¹ manª also¹ knowethª° not¹¹ his time:ª as the fishesª that are takenª°¹ in an evilª net,²¹ and as the birdsª that are caughtª° in the snare;ª so² [are] the sonsª of menª snaredª° in an evilª time,ª when it fallethª°¹ suddenlyª upon¹ them." {Ecc 9:12}
