Oh yes.
Bill, I felt uncomfortable with All Flesh,
so of course googled and -
David on his deathbed, to Solomon,
is in most versions saying ‘the earth’,
which of course is much less quotable.
However:
Douay-Rheims Bible:
'I am going the way of all flesh:
take thou courage, and shew thyself a man.'
So! mortality at least means the rich die like us, but there are two tendencies,
and I don’t want you to imply that growing inequality is as unstoppable as death.
