Baruch 3:18-20

Revised Standard Version

¹⁸those who scheme to get silver, and are anxious,
whose labors are beyond measure?
¹⁹They have vanished and gone down to Hades,
and others have arisen in their place.

²⁰Young men have seen the light of day,
    and have dwelt upon the earth;
but they have not learned the way to knowledge,
    nor understood her paths,
    nor laid hold of her.
