כִּי֩ אֵ֨ין זִכְר֧וֹן לֶחָכָ֛ם עִֽם־הַכְּסִ֖יל לְעוֹלָ֑ם בְּשֶׁכְּבָ֞ר הַיָּמִ֤ים הַבָּאִים֙ הַכֹּ֣ל נִשְׁכָּ֔ח וְאֵ֛יךְ יָמ֥וּת הֶחָכָ֖ם עִֽם־הַכְּסִֽיל׃
Sapagkat walang alaalang mananatili magpakailanman sa marunong, gaya rin ng sa hangal; dahil sa mga araw na darating ay matagal nang nalimutan ang lahat. At paanong namamatay ang marunong na gaya ng hangal!
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.
