People, despite their wealth, do not endure; they are like the beasts that perish.

Even though people may be very rich, they don’t live on and on. They are like the animals. They die.

言及世人、我心自謂、上帝欲試之、使知其與獸無異、人所遇者、獸亦遇之、人與獸所遇惟一、此之死猶彼之死、同一氣之呼吸、人無所愈於獸、悉屬虛空、俱歸一所、俱出於土、俱歸於土、人之神或升於上、獸之魂或降於地、其誰知之、

人居尊位、而不通達、猶死亡之畜兮、

爾使我之年歲、數掌可量、我之壽算、在於爾前、若無有兮、世人穩立時、亦皆虛空兮、

然爾必死、等於世人、顚仆同於他伯兮、

蓋曰、世人如草、其榮如花、草枯花謝、

人不自知其時、魚入於網、鳥罹於羅、患難猝臨之日、世人陷於其中、亦若是也、○

富者降卑亦然、以其如草花將逝也、蓋日出風炎、則草枯花謝、秀色云亡、富者於其所為、其衰亦若是、○
