I got together silver and gold and the wealth of kings and of countries. I got makers of song, male and female; and the delights of the sons of men--girls of all sorts to be my brides.

And I became great; increasing more than all who had been before me in Jerusalem, and my wisdom was still with me.

Ecclesiastes 2:16
Of the wise man, as of the foolish man, there is no memory for ever, seeing that those who now are will have gone from memory in the days to come. See how death comes to the wise as to the foolish!

What does a man get for all his work, and for the weight of care with which he has done his work under the sun?

Who may take food or have pleasure without him?
