Psalms 49:20
“Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.”
Though while he lived he blessed his soul: and men will praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself.
He shall go to the generation of his fathers; they shall never see light.
Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.
