For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool forever, since that which is now shall all be forgotten in the days to come. And how does the wise man die? Same as the fool!

Yes, I hated all my labor which I had done under the sun; because I must leave it to the man who shall come after me.

Therefore I turned my heart to despair over all the labor in which I had labored under the sun.

For all this I took to heart, in order to explain it: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. No man knows, whether by love or hatred, all that is before them.

All happens alike to everyone; there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him who sacrifices, and to him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner. He who swears is as he who fears an oath.

Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to every person, because everyone sinned.

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

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

I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You.

A brutish man does not know, nor does a fool understand this.

When the wicked spring up like grass, and when all the workers of iniquity blossom, it is that they may be destroyed forever.

Understand, you stupid ones among the people; and you fools, when will you be wise?

Whoever loves instruction loves knowledge; but he who hates correction is brutish.

Surely I am more stupid than any man, and do not have the understanding of a man.

But they are, every one of them, dull-hearted and foolish; a piece of wood is a discipline in vanities.

for when he dies he shall carry nothing away; his glory shall not descend after him.

from men by Your hand, O Jehovah, from men of the world whose portion is in this life, and whose belly You fill with Your hidden treasure. They are satisfied with children, and leave an abundance to their infants.

Surely every man walks about like a shadow! Surely they are stirred up in vain. He heaps up the produce, and does not know who shall gather it.

Riches do not profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.

Yes, I hated all my labor which I had done under the sun; because I must leave it to the man who shall come after me.

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

For there is a man whose labor is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and with success; yet he shall leave it as inheritance to a man who has not labored in it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

For God gives wisdom, and knowledge, and joy to a man who is good in His sight. But to the sinner He gives labor, to collect and gather, that he may give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and striving of spirit.

There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun: riches kept for their owners to their hurt.

As he came forth from his mother's womb, naked he shall return, to go as he came. And from his labor he shall take away nothing that he may carry in his hand.

The partridge sets on eggs and does not hatch them; in the same way he who gets riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the middle of his days, and at his end he shall be a fool.

But God said to him, 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.

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

For the love of money is a root of all evils, for which some being greedy, have strayed from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
