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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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