For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
קֹרֵא דָגַר וְלֹא יָלָד עֹשֶׂה עֹשֶׁר וְלֹא בְמִשְׁפָּט בַּחֲצִי (ימו) יָמָיו יַעַזְבֶנּוּ וּבְאַחֲרִיתוֹ יִהְיֶה נָבָֽל׃
As the partridge sitteth on eggs, and hatcheth them not; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the midst of his days, and at his end shall be a fool.
οὐδὲν γὰρ εἰσηνέγκαμεν εἰς τὸν κόσμον δῆλον ὅτι οὐδὲ ἐξενεγκεῖν τι δυνάμεθα·

אַךְ-בְּצֶלֶם׀ יִֽתְהַלֶּךְ-אִישׁ אַךְ-הֶבֶל יֶהֱמָיוּן יִצְבֹּר וְֽלֹא-יֵדַע מִי-אֹסְפָֽם׃
Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: surely they are disquieted in vain: he heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them.
οἵτινες οὐκ ἐπίστασθε τὸ τῆς αὔριον ποία γάρ ἡ ζωὴ ὑμῶν· ἀτμὶς γὰρ ἐστιν ἡ πρὸς ὀλίγον φαινομένη ἔπειτα δὲ ἀφανιζομένη
Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
אִם-יִצְבֹּר כֶּעָפָר כָּסֶף וְכַחֹמֶר יָכִין מַלְבּֽוּשׁ׃
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
כִּי לֹא בְמוֹתוֹ יִקַּח הַכֹּל לֹא-יֵרֵד אַחֲרָיו כְּבוֹדֽוֹ׃
For when he dieth he shall carry away: nothing his glory shall not descend after him.
ἐγένετο δὲ ἀποθανεῖν τὸν πτωχὸν καὶ ἀπενεχθῆναι αὐτὸν ὑπὸ τῶν ἀγγέλων εἰς τὸν κόλπον τοῦ Ἀβραάμ· ἀπέθανεν δὲ καὶ ὁ πλούσιος καὶ ἐτάφη
And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;
גַּם-אֵל יִתָּצְךָ לָנֶצַח יַחְתְּךָ וְיִסָּחֲךָ מֵאֹהֶל וְשֵֽׁרֶשְׁךָ מֵאֶרֶץ חַיִּים סֶֽלָה׃

He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.
ἐὰν δὲ εἴπῃ ὁ κακὸς δοῦλος ἐκεῖνος ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ αὐτοῦ Χρονίζει ὁ κύριος μου ἐλθεῖν
But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
ὅταν γὰρ λέγωσιν Εἰρήνη καὶ ἀσφάλεια τότε αἰφνίδιος αὐτοῖς ἐφίσταται ὄλεθρος ὥσπερ ἡ ὠδὶν τῇ ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσῃ καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκφύγωσιν
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
ἄφρονες οὐχ ὁ ποιήσας τὸ ἔξωθεν καὶ τὸ ἔσωθεν ἐποίησεν

For while they be folden together as thorns, and while they are drunken as drunkards, they shall be devoured as stubble fully dry.
לֹא-זָרוּ מִתַּאֲוָתָם עוֹד אָכְלָם בְּפִיהֶֽם׃
They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
בֵּלְשַׁאצַּר מַלְכָּא עֲבַד לְחֶם רַב לְרַבְרְבָנוֹהִי אֲלַף וְלָקֳבֵל אַלְפָּא חַמְרָא שָׁתֵֽה׃
Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
וְשָׂנֵאתִֽי אֲנִי אֶת-כָּל-עֲמָלִי שֶׁאֲנִי עָמֵל תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ שֶׁאַנִּיחֶנּוּ לָאָדָם שֶׁיִּהְיֶה אַחֲרָֽי׃
Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
וּדְנָה כְתָבָא דִּי רְשִׁים מְנֵא מְנֵא תְּקֵל וּפַרְסִֽין׃
