Psalms 49:20

Psa 49:20 Man [that is] in honour, and understandeth not, is like the beasts [that] perish.

Ver. 20. Man that is in honour and understandeth not ] Versus amoibaeus. See Psalms 49:12 , there is but little difference; Stultitiam patiuntur opes. The more a man hath of worldly wealth, and the less of spiritual and heavenly understanding therewith, the more bestial he is, and shall be more miserable. Caligula called his father-in-law, Marcus Silanus, χρυσουν προβατον , a golden brute, Quid cervo ingentia cornua, cum desit animus?

Vel mihi da clavem, vel mihi tolle seram.
