Their love

Now a new king arose over Egypt, who did not know Joseph [nor the history of his accomplishments].

“There [in death] the wicked cease from raging,
And there the weary are at rest.

Do not trust in princes,
In mortal man, in whom there is no salvation (help).

The hope of the righteous [those of honorable character and integrity] is joy,
But the expectation of the wicked [those who oppose God and ignore His wisdom] comes to nothing.

“Get up! Take the Child and His mother, and go to the land of Israel; for those who sought the Child’s life are dead.”

Have they

So I hated all the fruit (gain) of my labor for which I had labored under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will succeed me.

For who [limited by human wisdom] knows what is good for man during his lifetime, during the few days of his futile life? He spends them like a shadow [staying busy, but achieving nothing of lasting value]. For who can tell a man what will happen after him [to his work, his treasure, his plans] under the sun [after his life is over]?

General references

So I congratulated and thought more fortunate are those who are already dead than the living who are still living.

I said, “I will not see the Lord
The Lord in the land of the living;
I will no longer see man among the inhabitants of the world.
