כִּֽי־בַהֶ֥בֶל בָּ֖א וּבַחֹ֣שֶׁךְ יֵלֵ֑ךְ וּבַחֹ֖שֶׁךְ שְׁמ֥וֹ יְכֻסֶּֽה׃
װאָרום אין נישטיקײט קומט עס, און אין פֿינצטערניש פֿאַרגײט עס, און אין פֿינצטערניש װערט צוגעדעקט זײַן נאָמען.
Kohelet Rabbah
“For he comes in vanity, and departs in darkness, and in darkness his name is covered” (Ecclesiastes 6:4).
“For he comes in vanity, [and departs in darkness]” – is he without a lamp and without bathing? Rather, he is without Torah and without good deeds.11This continues the previous homily and is referring to Ahab (Matnot Kehuna).
