“For he comes in vanity, and departs in darkness, and in darkness his name is covered” (Ecclesiastes 6:4). “For he comes in vanity, [and departs in darkness]” – is he without a lamp and without bathing? Rather, he is without Torah and without good deeds.11This continues the previous homily and is referring to Ahab (Matnot Kehuna).
