Ecclesiastes 4:16

Read Full Chapter
There is no limit to all the people who were before them. Yet the successor will not be celebrated by those who come even later. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was—yet those who come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
World English Bible (WEB)
There is no end{H7093} of all the people{H5971}, even of all that have been before{H6440} them: they also that come after{H314} shall not rejoice{H8055}{(H8799)} in him. Surely this also is vanity{H1892} and vexation{H7475} of spirit{H7307}.
Strong's King James
The F.O.G
The F.O.G Paraphrase
there is no end to all the people, to all who were before them; also, the latter rejoice not in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
