For there is no remembrance of the wise man with the fool forever; forasmuch as now [in] the coming days all things are forgotten. And how shall the wise man die with the fool?

And I hated all of my labor which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will come after me.

So I went about to dismiss from my heart all my labor in which I had labored under the sun.

[I saw] that the righteous, the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God. Yea, there is no man that knows either love or hatred, [though] all are before their face.

Vanity is in all. There is one event to the righteous, and to the wicked; to the good, and to the bad; both to the pure, and to the impure; both to him that sacrifices, and to him that does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; as is the swearer, even so is he that fears an oath.

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death passed to all men, because all sinned--

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

And just as it is appointed for men once to die, and after this judgment,

But I [was] vile and knew not: I became brutish before You.

A foolish man will not know, and a senseless man will not understand this.

When the sinners spring up as the grass, and all the workers of iniquity have watched; [it is] that they may be utterly destroyed forever.

Understand now, you simple among the people; and you fools, at length be wise.

He that loves instruction loves sense, but he that hates reproofs is a fool.

For I am the most simple of all men, and there is not in me the wisdom of men.

For he shall take nothing when he dies; neither shall his glory descend with him.

because of the enemies of Your hand. O Lord, destroy them from the earth; scatter them in their life, though their belly has been filled with Your hidden [treasures]; they have been satisfied with uncleanness, and have left the remnant [of their possessions] to their babes.

Surely man walks in a shadow; nay, he is disquieted in vain; he lays up treasures, and knows not for whom he shall gather them.

[This translation omits this verse.]

And I hated all of my labor which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will come after me.

And who knows whether he will be wise, or a fool? And whether he will have power over all my labor in which I labored, and in which I grew wise under the sun? This is also vanity.

For there is [such] a man that his labor is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in fortitude; [yet] this man shall give his portion to one who has not labored for it. This is also vanity and a great evil.

For [God] has given wisdom, knowledge, and joy to the man who is good in His sight, but He has given to the sinner trouble, to add and to heap up, that He may give to him that is good before God; for this is also vanity and grasping for the wind.

There is an infirmity which I have seen under the sun, [namely], wealth kept for its owner to his [own] hurt.

As he came forth naked from his mother's womb, he shall return back as he came, and he shall receive nothing for his labor, that it should go [with him] in his hand.

The partridge utters her voice; she gathers [eggs] which she did not lay. [So is a man] gaining his wealth unjustly: in the midst of his days [his riches] shall leave him, and at his latter end he will be a fool.

But God said to him, ['You] fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have prepared?'

But godliness with contentment is great gain.

But having food and clothing, with these things we shall be content.

For the love of money is a root of all evils, of which some [by] aspiring have strayed away from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
