Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 49:20

20. Man that is in honour and understandeth not , is like the beasts that perish .

(i. e.) Hath not true Wisdom, to know and Consider what he is, and what his true Business and Interest in this World is, and what use he should make of his Life, and of all his Riches and Honour, and Power, and whither he is going, and what Course to take for the Attainment of true and lasting Happiness.

Though he hath the outward shape of a Man, yet in truth he is a Beast, or a brutish stupid, and unreasonable Creature, and he shall perish like a brute Beast made to be destroyed, 2 Pet. 2. 12.
