For all can see that the wise die, that the foolish and the senseless also perish, leaving their wealth to others. Their tombs will remain their houses forever, their dwellings for endless generations, though they had named lands after themselves.
For all can see that the wise die
Ecclesiastes 2:16 For the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered; the days have already come when both have been forgotten. Like a fool, the wise too must die!
that the foolish and the senseless also perish
Psalm 92:6-7 Senseless people do not know, fools do not understand, that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evildoers flourish, they will be destroyed forever.
Psalm 94:8 Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?
leaving their wealth
Job 27:16-17 Though he heaps up silver like dust and clothes like piles of clay, what he lays up the righteous will wear, and the innocent will divide his silver.
to others
Ecclesiastes 2:18 I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me.
Ecclesiastes 2:21 For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune.
Luke 12:20 "But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' "
Their tombs will remain their houses forever
Mark 5:3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain.
Luke 8:27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs.
for endless generations
Psalm 106:31 This was credited to him as righteousness for endless generations to come.
though they had named lands after themselves
Deuteronomy 3:14 (Jair, a descendant of Manasseh, took the whole region of Argob as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maakathites; it was named after him, so that to this day Bashan is called Havath Jair.)
