Whereas many riches are, there are many also that spend them away. And what pleasure more hath he that possesseth them, saving that he may look upon them with his eyes?

For where much wisdom is, there is also great travail and disquietness; and the more knowledge a man hath, the more is his care.

For where much carefulness is, there are many dreams: and where many words are, there men may hear fools.

And why? Whereas are many dreams and many words, there are also divers vanities: but look that thou fear God.

If a man beget a hundredth children, and live many years, so that his days are many in number, and yet cannot enjoy his good, neither be buried: as for him I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.

If a man live many years, and be glad in them all, let him remember the days of darkness, which shall be many: And when they come, all things shall be but vanity.
