Verse 20

²⁰There is no living together here for ever, king, at any time, with anyone, not even with one's own body, let alone with wife and children and the rest. ²¹A creature is born alone and it dissolves alone; alone it has the good it has done, and alone the harm. ²²Others, poor in wit, carry off the wealth he has heaped up by wrongdoing, on the pretence that they are people he must feed, as water creatures carry off the waters. ²³Those he feeds by wrongdoing, thinking them his own, his own breath, his riches, his sons and the rest, let him go, unlearned as he is, with nothing accomplished. ²⁴Taking the guilt on himself, dropped by them, not knowing what wealth is for, with nothing accomplished, he turns his back on his own duty and enters the blind dark.

²⁵So look at this world, king, as a dream, a conjuring, a wish of the mind; hold yourself in with yourself; and be even-handed and at peace, lord.
