Behold they shall speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: for who, say they, hath heard us?
Or as a hidden untimely birth, I should not be, or as they that being conceived have not seen the light.
If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, and attain to a great age, and his soul make no use of the goods of his substance, and he be without burial: of this man I pronounce, that the untimely born is better than he.
And the rich, in his being low; because as the flower of the grass shall he pass away.
Heaven and earth shall pass, but my words shall not pass.
I should have been as if I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave.
