Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 10. - For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish. The rich man must see that any hope of ransoming himself by means of his wealth, and so escaping death and the grave, is vain, since the law of mortality, which is in operation all around him, is universal. No one is redeemed from death, in the sense of escaping "the first death." Not only do "the fool and the brutish person" perish, but the fate of "the wise" is the same. All die; all quit the earth; all leave behind them everything that they possessed on earth; no one can take with him the gold in which he has trusted (ver. 6); all leave their wealth to others.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(10) For he seeth.--The clauses are wrongly divided in the Authorised Version. Translate--"On the contrary he must see it (the grave),Wise men must die . . .Likewise the fool and the stupid must perish."The wealth of the prudent will not avail any more for indefinite prolongation of life, than that of fools.
