17. made sport of the birds in the heavens,Who heaped up the silver,the gold in which people trust,whose possessions were unlimited,
18. Who schemed anxiously for money,their doings beyond discovery?
19. They have vanished, gone down to Hades,and others have risen up in their stead.
20. Later generations have seen the light of day,have dwelt on the earth,But the way to understanding they have not known,
21. they have not perceived her paths or reached her;their children remain far from the way to her.
