“His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.”
"His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; they are brought low, and he perceives it not." The dead human is not even aware of his descendants' fates. This verse emphasizes the utter unconsciousness of death—the human is severed not only from life but from knowledge of what happens to those he loves. The verse makes death not merely death but deprivation of relationship and awareness.
