'Long' in the Bible
Is there anything about which someone can say, "Look at this! It is new!"? It was already done long ago, before our time.
For the wise man, like the fool, will not be remembered for very long, because in the days to come, both will already have been forgotten. Alas, the wise man dies -- just like the fool!

I have concluded that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to enjoy themselves as long as they live,
Even if a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years -- even if he lives a long, long time, but cannot enjoy his prosperity -- even if he were to live forever -- I would say, "A stillborn child is better off than he is!"
During the days of my fleeting life I have seen both of these things: Sometimes a righteous person dies prematurely in spite of his righteousness, and sometimes a wicked person lives long in spite of his evil deeds.
Even though a sinner might commit a hundred crimes and still live a long time, yet I know that it will go well with God-fearing people -- for they stand in fear before him.
What they loved, as well as what they hated and envied, perished long ago, and they no longer have a part in anything that happens on earth.
