כִּֽי־בַהֶ֥בֶל בָּ֖א וּבַחֹ֣שֶׁךְ יֵלֵ֑ךְ וּבַחֹ֖שֶׁךְ שְׁמ֥וֹ יְכֻסֶּֽה׃
Car celui-ci arrive comme un vain souffle, s’en va dans la nuit, et son nom demeure enseveli dans les ténèbres.
Ecclesiastes
If a man beget a hundred [sons], and live many years, and the days of his years suffice [for all manner of good] — if his soul not be sated of that good, [(the man not rejoicing in his lot)], and burial, also not be his [(all of these having obtained with King Achav)], then I say that better than he is the still-born, [(who had never seen good nor lusted for it)].
