12 For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his ^evain¹ life, which he passes like ^fa shadow? For who can tell man what will be ^gafter him under the sun?

15 In my ^avain¹ life I have seen everything. There is ^ba righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who ^cprolongs his life in his evildoing.
