Esto vi también: que los impíos sepultados vinieron aún en memoria; mas los que partieron del lugar santo, fueron luego puestos en olvido en la ciudad donde con rectitud habían obrado. Esto también es vanidad.

He visto los funerales de los malvados, y cuando sus amigos regresaban del cementerio, olvidadas todas las maldades del difunto, se le alababa en la misma ciudad en donde había cometido sus múltiples fechorías. ¡Qué absurdo!
