¹⁶ For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.

¹¹ There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

⁵ For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

¹² Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?

²⁷ And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

¹⁶ Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

⁸ For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

¹⁴ The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.

¹⁶ For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.

¹⁰ For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

³³ And the king lamented over Abner, and said, Died Abner as a fool dieth?

⁸ Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

⁶ And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and all that generation.
