Footnotes

1. Psalm 49:11 Those who have amassed wealth for themselves (see Lk 12:20) or those who have rejected the voice of wisdom (see Prov 1:17f) are the foolish and the stupid. These have taken pains to ensure their memory by naming property after themselves but will be remembered only by the names engraved on their tombs (v. 12; see Isa 22:16). They will perish, forever bereft of their wealth.
2. Psalm 49:11 A passage very close to Eccl 2:16 (see Pss 39:7; 92:7f).
