Psalms 49:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 49:20
The refrain (repeating v.12): 'Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts that perish.' The addition 'understandeth not' is key. Honor without wisdom equals animal existence. Understanding--the wisdom the psalm offers--distinguishes the truly human from the merely biological.
