כִּי֩ אֵ֨ין זִכְר֧וֹן לֶחָכָ֛ם עִֽם־הַכְּסִ֖יל לְעוֹלָ֑ם בְּשֶׁכְּבָ֞ר הַיָּמִ֤ים הַבָּאִים֙ הַכֹּ֣ל נִשְׁכָּ֔ח וְאֵ֛יךְ יָמ֥וּת הֶחָכָ֖ם עִֽם־הַכְּסִֽיל׃
Pois do sábio, bem como do estulto, a memória não durará para sempre; porquanto de tudo, nos dias futuros, total esquecimento haverá. E como morre o sábio, assim morre o estulto!
Ecclesiastes
For there is no remembrance of the first ones, [i.e., the earlier generations, for which reason the thing seems to be new]; and the later ones, too, who will be [after us], will not be remembered by those who come after them.
Ecclesiastes
There is no end to all the people, to all [the good] that was before them. The latter ones, too, will not rejoice in it. For this, too, is [the outcome of] vanity and breaking of spirit.
