²³ One comes to his end in complete well-being, full of peace and quiet:

²⁴ His buckets are full of milk, and there is no loss of strength in his bones.

²⁰ The public place of his town has no more knowledge of him, and his name has gone from the memory of men: he is rooted up like a dead tree.

¹⁰ They are shut up in their fat: with their mouths they say words of pride.

¹⁴ With your hand, O Lord, from men, even men of the world, whose heritage is in this life, and whom you make full with your secret wealth: they are full of children; after their death their offspring take the rest of their goods.

¹⁶ Of the wise man, as of the foolish man, there is no memory for ever, seeing that those who now are will have gone from memory in the days to come. See how death comes to the wise as to the foolish!

¹⁵ These two have I seen in my life which is to no purpose: a good man coming to his end in his righteousness, and an evil man whose days are long in his evil-doing.

²² And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth.
