Ecclesiastes 2:16

For there is no lasting remembrance of the wise, just as with the fool, seeing that both will be forgotten in the days to come. Alas, the wise man will die just like the fool!
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no memory for ever, since in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. Indeed, the wise man must die just like the fool!
World English Bible (WEB)
For there is no remembrance{H2146} of the wise{H2450} more than{H5973} of the fool{H3684} for ever{H5769}; seeing that which now{H3528} is in the days{H3117} to come{H935}{(H8802)} shall all be forgotten{H7911}{(H8738)}. And how dieth{H4191}{(H8799)} the wise{H2450} man? as the fool{H3684}.
Strong's King James
For there is no remembrance of the wise together with the fool forever, since in the multiplication of days, all will be forgotten. How does the wise and the fool alike die?
The F.O.G
The F.O.G Paraphrase
That there is no remembrance to the wise—with the fool—to the age, for that which is already, in the days that are coming is all forgotten, and how dieth the wise? with the fool!
