The same fate awaits the righteous and the wicked, the good and the pure and the impure, the one who brings offerings and the one who does not. For a good man just as for a sinner; the one who swears falsely with the one who fears his oath. This is the evil in all that is done beneath the sun: the same fate attends everyone. And the hearts of man are weighed down with evil; delirium clouds their minds all their lives – and then they go to the dead. For one who is still bound to life has something to rely upon: Better to be a living dog than a dead lion. For the living know at least that they must die; while the dead know nothing. No more reward for their actions; their names are forgotten. Their love, their hate, their passions – all are already lost. And they have no more share, no longer; no part in what is done beneath the sun. Go, eat your bread in joy, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has accepted your deeds. Let your clothes at all times be white; let your head never lack anointing oil. Live well, with the woman you love, all the days of the shallow breath He has given you here beneath the sun, for this is your share in life, and in all the toil over which you labor beneath the sun. Whatever you find it in your hands to do – do that with all your strength. For there is no work or reason, no understanding or wisdom, in the grave to which you are going. Then I turned again and saw beneath the sun – that the race is not given to the swift, nor the war to the mighty; bread is not promised to the wise, nor to the understanding, wealth; no more to the knowing, favor; for time, for misfortune, comes to them all. And man never knows when his time will come: as fish are entrapped in the deadly net, as birds are trapped in the snare, so too are people caught, at just that time of harm that will fall upon them without warning. This too I saw of wisdom beneath the sun, great beyond my understanding. A small town. Few people in it. A great king came and surrounded it and built great siege-walls all around. And one poor wise man was there to be found, able to save the whole town by his wisdom; and not a soul remembered that poor man. And I said: Wisdom is better than might; but the wisdom of a poor man is scorned, his words unheeded. The quiet words of the wise are heeded more than the shout of a ruler among fools. Better wisdom than weaponry – yet one lone sinner can destroy much good. Dead flies ferment and putrefy perfumer's oils.
