וְרָאִ֗יתִי כִּ֣י אֵ֥ין טוֹב֙ מֵאֲשֶׁ֨ר יִשְׂמַ֤ח הָאָדָם֙ בְּֽמַעֲשָׂ֔יו כִּי־ה֖וּא חֶלְק֑וֹ כִּ֣י מִ֤י יְבִיאֶ֙נּוּ֙ לִרְא֔וֹת בְּמֶ֖ה שֶׁיִּהְיֶ֥ה אַחֲרָֽיו׃
So erkannte ich, dass nichts besser ist, als dass der Mensch froh sei seiner Werke, denn das ist sein Anteil; denn wer will ihn hinführen, dass er ansehe, was nach ihm sein wird?
Kohelet Rabbah
“I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his actions, as that is his portion; for who will bring him to see that which will be after him?” (Ecclesiastes 3:22).
“I saw that there is nothing better…for who will bring him to see?” Who will bring David to see what Solomon did? Who will bring Solomon to see what will be after him, what Reḥavam did?
“I saw that there is nothing better…for who will bring him to see?” Who will bring David to see what Solomon did? Who will bring Solomon to see what will be after him, what Reḥavam did?
