Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 49:10

"For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others." — Psalms 49:10 (ASV)

For he sees. —The clauses are wrongly divided in the Authorized Version. Translate—

“On the contrary he must see it (the grave),
Wise men must die ...

Likewise the fool and the stupid must perish.”

The wealth of the prudent will not avail any more for indefinite prolongation of life, than that of fools.
