Job 3:13,14

For now should I have lain still, and been quiet Free from those torments of body, and that anguish of mind, which now oppress me. With kings and counsellors of the earth I had then been as happy as the proudest monarchs, who, after all their great achievements, go down into their graves; which built desolate places for themselves Who distinguished themselves for a while, and to show their great wealth and power, and to leave behind them a glorious name, and perpetuate their memories, with great labour and expense erected pompous and magnificent buildings; and, to render themselves the more famous, raised them up in places which seemed before to be forsaken, and abandoned to entire desolation.
