Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
23 When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance cease,
and be comforted for him when his spirit has departed.

24 The wisdom of the scribe depends on the opportunity of leisure;
and he who has little business may become wise.
25 How can he become wise who handles the plow,
and who glories in the shaft of a goad,
who drives oxen and is occupied with their work,
and whose talk is about[a] bulls?
