Psa 49:20 | MHM | STEP | v. 20 : The psalmist ends by saying, Man who is in honor and does not understand is like the beasts that perish (Psalm 49:20 ). If someone has honor and riches but no understanding of God, he is no better than an animal that dies and is forgotten. True wisdom is to know God and trust Him, not just to gain worldly things. God’s people can be confident that their hope is secure. Riches, fame, and human praise will all pass away, but those who trust in God will live forever with Him.
