For what befalleth the children of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other, and they have all one breath; and man hath no pre-eminence above the beast: for all is vanity.

moreover it hath not seen nor known the sun: this hath rest rather than the other.

In the day of prosperity enjoy good, and in the day of adversity consider: God hath also set the one beside the other, to the end that man should find out nothing of what shall be after him.

For also thine own heart knoweth that oftentimes thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.
