# For who knows what is good for a person ... he passes through like a shadow? "No one knows what is good for a person ... he passes through like a shadow." # in life, during the few and meaningless days he passes through like a shadow "during his futile, short life, which he passes through as quickly as a shadow passes by" # Who can tell a person ... after he is gone? "No one can tell a person ... after he dies." # what will happen under the sun "what will happen on the earth". See how you translated "under the sun" in Ecclesiastes 1:3.
