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?

I said to myself, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked, since there is a time for every activity and every work.”

It is better to go to a house of mourning
than to go to a house of feasting,
since that is the end of all mankind,
and the living should take it to heart.

Do not be in a hurry; leave his presence, and don’t persist in a bad cause, since he will do whatever he wants.

But there is hope for whoever is joined with all the living, since a live dog is better than a dead lion.

Indeed, if a man lives many years,
let him rejoice in them all,
and let him remember the days of darkness, since they will be many.
All that comes is futile.
