For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 49 of Psalms. Psalm 49 adopts a wisdom tone and addresses the inability of wealth to rescue human beings from death. Rich and poor ultimately share the same mortal condition, so accumulating possessions is not a definitive guarantee. The psalmist contrasts the destiny of those who trust in their possessions with the hope that God can redeem life. Wisdom consists in recognizing the limitations of wealth before death.

daß er fortlebe immerdar und die Grube nicht sehe.
Pues se ve que mueren los sabios, Así como el insensato y el necio perecen, Y dejan a otros sus riquezas.
Porque ve que los sabios mueren, y que juntos perecen el necio y el insensato, dejando sus bienes a otros.
Car ils la verront: les sages meurent, L'insensé et le stupide périssent également, Et ils laissent à d'autres leurs biens.
Conciossiachè veggano che i savi muoiono, E che parimente i pazzi, e gli stolti periscono, E lasciano i lor beni ad altri.
Porque ele vê que os sábios morrem; perecem igualmente tanto o louco como o brutal, e deixam a outros os seus bens.
他要見智慧人死, 愚昧人和畜牲一般的人一同滅亡, 把他們的財貨留給別人。
