II. P. " Nevertheless, man being in honor abideth not." The Syriac interpreter, as well as the Septuagint, had a reading slightly different p?^ ^3^, which is followed by Ewald, and is found in the last verse. This ascribes man's downfall to his want of intelligence, and consequent depravity. The text represents him as subject, like the beasts, to the necessity of death, however honored and wealthy he may be.
