Psa 49:12, 82:6 | JFB | STEP | 12. Contrasted with this vanity is their frailty. However honored, man abideth not —literally, "lodgeth not," remains not till morning, but suddenly perishes as (wild) beasts, whose lives are taken without warning.

Psalms 49:12

12. Contrasted with this vanity is their frailty. However honored, man

abideth not—literally, "lodgeth not," remains not till morning, but suddenly perishes as (wild) beasts, whose lives are taken without warning.

6, 7. Though God admitted their official dignity (Joh 10:34), He reminds them of their mortality.
