Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 49:10

_ _ For he seeth — that is, corruption; then follows the illustration.

_ _ wise ... fool — (Psalms 14:1; Proverbs 1:32; Proverbs 10:1).

_ _ likewise — alike altogether — (Psalms 4:8) — die — all meet the same fate.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 49:6-14.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 49:10

He seeth — Every man sees that all men die, the wise and the foolish; the evil and the good. To others — He saith not to sons or kindred; but to others, because he is wholly uncertain to whom he shall leave them, to friends, or strangers, or enemies; which he mentions as a great vanity in riches. They neither can save them from death, nor will accompany him in and after death; and after his death will be disposed, he knows not how, nor to whom.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Psalms 49:10

For he seeth [that] wise men (f) die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to (g) others.

(f) In that that death makes no difference between the persons.

(g) That is, not to their children, but to strangers. Yet the wicked profit not by these examples, but still dream of immortality on earth.

All [things come] alike to all: [there is] one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not: as [is] the good, so [is] the sinner; [and] he that sweareth, as [he] that feareth an oath.
Romans 5:12-14 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: ...
