Τις ειναι ως ο σοφος; και τις γνωριζει την λυσιν των πραγματων; η σοφια του ανθρωπου φαιδρυνει το προσωπον αυτου, και η σκληροτης του προσωπου αυτου θελει μεταβληθη.
There is no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit; and there is no power in the day of death: and there is no discharge in the day of the battle; neither shall ungodliness save her votary.

Παντα ταυτα ειδον, και προσηλωσα τον νουν μου εις παν εργον, το οποιον γινεται υπο τον ηλιον· ειναι καιρος καθ' ον ο ανθρωπος εξουσιαζει ανθρωπον προς βλαβην αυτου.
And then I saw the ungodly carried into the tombs, and that out of the holy place: and they departed, and were praised in the city, because they had done thus: this also is vanity.

Και ουτως ειδον τους ασεβεις ενταφιασθεντας, οιτινες ηλθον και απηλθον απο της γης της αγιας και ελησμονηθησαν εν τη πολει, οπου ειχον πραξει ουτω· και τουτο ματαιοτης.
Because there is no contradiction made on the part of those who do evil quickly, therefore the heart of the children of men is fully determined in them to do evil.

And I beheld all the works of God, that a man shall not be able to discover the work which is wrought under the sun; whatsoever things a man shall endeavour to seek, however a man may labour to seek it, yet he shall not find it; yea, how much soever a wise man may speak of knowing it, he shall not be able to find it: for I applied all this to my heart, and my heart has seen all this.
