“Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.”
The revelation concludes that the tent-cord is plucked up and humans depart, dying without wisdom, suggesting that human life, however constructed with care and intention, is fundamentally provisional and can be dismantled without notice. The image of the tent cord being pulled emphasizes the sudden collapse of the structures upon which human life depends. The death without wisdom suggests that humans depart existence unable to grasp fully the meaning or purpose of their brief lives.
