“He is like the beasts that perish”
Without understanding, he is like the beasts that perish (Ps. 49:12, 20).
He who trusts in his wealth and boasts in the abundance of his riches is a fool (vv. 6, 10, 13).
Since the redemption of his soul is costly, he should cease trying forever (v. 8).
He will not live eternally but will die (v. 9).
He will leave his wealth to other (vv. 10, 17).
