    for he knows their day is coming.^(A)

¹⁶ For the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered;^(A)
    the days have already come when both have been forgotten.^(B)

    in the days of your youth,
before the days of trouble^(B) come
    and the years approach when you will say,
    “I find no pleasure in them”—
