כִּ֣י מִֽי־יוֹדֵעַ֩ מַה־טּ֨וֹב לָֽאָדָ֜ם בַּֽחַיִּ֗ים מִסְפַּ֛ר יְמֵי־חַיֵּ֥י הֶבְל֖וֹ וְיַעֲשֵׂ֣ם כַּצֵּ֑ל אֲשֶׁר֙ מִֽי־יַגִּ֣יד לָֽאָדָ֔ם מַה־יִּהְיֶ֥ה אַחֲרָ֖יו תַּ֥חַת הַשָּֽׁמֶשׁ׃
因為誰知道，在人虛空的一生中那屈指可數的日子裡，甚麼對他才是有益的呢？他度過這些日子，就像影子一樣轉瞬即逝。誰能告訴人，他離世之後，在日光之下會發生甚麼事呢？
Ecclesiastes
For the man is not (so) righteous in the land, who will do good and never sin [(wherefore such self-examination is an absolute necessity)].
Ecclesiastes
All this I probed through wisdom [(the Torah)]. I said I would become wise [(and master wisdom)]; but it is far from me:
Ecclesiastes
But it shall not go well for the wicked one and his days will not be prolonged, [(but he will be)] like a shadow, for not having feared G-d.
