²² I have seen that ^(A)nothing is better than that man should be glad in his works, for that is his portion. For who will bring him to see ^(B)what will occur after him?

¹² For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few days of his vain life? He will make do with them like a ^(A)shadow. For who can tell a man ^(B)what will be after him under the sun?

¹² Moreover, man does not ^(A)know his time: like fish seized in an evil net and ^(B)birds seized in a trap, so the sons of men are ^(C)ensnared at an evil time when it ^(D)suddenly falls on them.
