²³ One dies in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and quiet.

²² In the fullness of his sufficiency, distress shall overtake him: The hand of everyone who is in misery shall come on him.

²³ When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.

¹⁷ For when he dies he shall carry nothing away. His glory shall not descend after him.

⁴ For there are no struggles in their death, But their strength is firm.

⁵ They are free from burdens of men, Neither are they plagued like other men.

¹⁹ I will tell my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years. Take your ease, eat, drink, be merry."'

²⁰ "But God said to him, 'You foolish one, tonight your soul is required of you. The things which you have prepared--whose will they be?'

²¹ So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
