ગુજરાતીગીતશાસ્ત્ર ૪૯:૧૨
પણ માણસ ધનવાન હોવા છતાં, ટકી રહેવાનો નથી; તે નાશવંત પશુના જેવો છે.
हिन्दीभजन संहिता ४९:१२
परन्तु मनुष्य प्रतिष्ठा पाकर भी स्थिर नहीं रहता, वह पशुओं के समान होता है, जो मर मिटते हैं।

In context

10For he sees that wise men die; likewise the fool and the senseless perish, and leave their wealth to others.

11Their inward thought is that their houses will endure forever, and their dwelling places to all generations. They name their lands after themselves.

12But man, despite his riches, doesn’t endure. He is like the animals that perish.

13This is the destiny of those who are foolish, and of those who approve their sayings. Selah.

14They are appointed as a flock for Sheol. Death shall be their shepherd. The upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Their beauty shall decay in Sheol, far from their mansion.
