They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
