3:22 So I perceived there is nothing better than for people 1 to enjoy their work, 2
because that is their 3 reward;
for who can show them what the future holds? 4
9:5 For the living know that they will die, but the dead do not know anything;
they have no further reward – and even the memory of them disappears. 5
