כִּֽי־בַהֶ֥בֶל בָּ֖א וּבַחֹ֣שֶׁךְ יֵלֵ֑ךְ וּבַחֹ֖שֶׁךְ שְׁמ֥וֹ יְכֻסֶּֽה׃
Poiché esso viene nella vanità e se ne va nelle tenebre, e nelle tenebre il suo nome è coperto;
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)].
