Ecclesiastes 4:16⥂
KJV:
[There is] no end of all the people, [even] of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
BSB:
There is no limit to all the people who were before them. Yet the successor will not be celebrated by those who come even later. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
Hebrew:
אֵֽין־ קֵ֣ץ לְכָל־ הָעָ֗ם לְכֹ֤ל אֲשֶׁר־ הָיָה֙ לִפְנֵיהֶ֔ם גַּ֥ם הָאַחֲרוֹנִ֖ים לֹ֣א יִשְׂמְחוּ־ ב֑וֹ כִּֽי־ גַם־ זֶ֥ה הֶ֖בֶל וְרַעְי֥וֹן רֽוּחַ׃
