Ecclesiastes 11:8

כִּ֡י אִם שָׁנִ֨ים הַרְבֵּ֜ה יִחְיֶ֤ה הָאָדָם֙ בְּכֻלָּ֣ם יִשְׂמָ֔ח וְיִזְכֹּ֕ר אֶת יְמֵ֥י הַחֹ֖שֶׁךְ כִּי הַרְבֵּ֣ה יִהְי֑וּ כָּ֛ל שֶׁיָּב֖וֹא הָֽבֶל׃
kiy ʾim shaniym harbeh yiḥyeh haʾadam bkulam yishmaḥ vyizkor ʾet ymey haḥoshek kiy harbeh yihyv kal sheyabvoʾ habel
King James Version (KJV)

But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.

Modern English

So if a person lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity.
