Baruch 3:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁸ Where are those who anxiously schemed to acquire silver?
    There is no trace of their actions.
¹⁹ They have all vanished
and gone to the grave,^[a]
    and others have risen up in their place.
²⁰ New generations have seen the light
and lived on the earth,
    but they didn’t know
    the way of knowledge.
