The wise man has eyes in his head,
but the fool walks in darkness.

Yet I also knew that one fate comes to them both.

For, just like the fool, there is no lasting remembrance of the wise man, since in the days to come both will be forgotten. How is it that the wise man dies just like the fool?

And if he lives a thousand years twice, but does not experience happiness, do not both go to the same place?

It is good that you grasp the one and do not let the other slip from your hand. For the one who fears God will end up with both of them.

In the morning sow your seed,
and at evening do not let your hand rest,
because you don’t know which will succeed,
whether one or the other,
or if both of them will be equally good.
