We aren’t immortal. We don’t last long. Like our dogs, we age and weaken. And die.

Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.

Man in his pomp, yet without understanding, Is like the beasts that perish.

Rich people with no understanding are just like animals that die.

Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.

People who have wealth but lack understanding are like the beasts that perish.

A man who is in honor, yet does not understand, Is like the beasts that perish.

A man [who is held] in honor, Yet who lacks [spiritual] understanding and a teachable heart, is like the beasts that perish.

People who boast of their wealth don’t understand; they will die, just like animals.

So this is the way of mortal man— honored for a moment, yet without eternal insight, like a beast that will one day perish.

Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish.
