Let them be like a snail which melts and passes away, like the stillborn child, who has not seen the sun.
I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, as infants who never saw light.
If a man fathers a hundred children, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not filled with good, and moreover he has no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he:
Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
and the rich, in that he is made humble, because like the flower in the grass, he will pass away.
