Ecclesiastes 2:26
To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

Patriarchs (Bible)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the movement within evangelical Christianity, see Biblical patriarchy. For uses not directly related to the Bible, see Patriarch (disambiguation).
The Patriarchs (Hebrew: אבות Avot or Abot, singular Hebrew: אב Ab or Aramaic: אבא Abba) of the Bible, when narrowly defined, areAbraham, his son Isaac, and Isaac's son Jacob, also named Israel, the ancestor of the Israelites. These three figures are referred to collectively as the patriarchs of Judaism, and the period in which they lived is known as the patriarchal age. They play significant roles in Hebrew scripture during and following their lifetimes. They are used as a significant marker by God in revelations[1] and promises,[2] and continue to play important roles in the Abrahamic faiths. More widely, the term Patriarchs can be used to refer to the twenty ancestor-figures between Adam and Abraham. The first ten of these are called the Antediluvian patriarchs, because they came before the Flood. Judaism and Islam hold that the patriarchs and their primary wives – Sarah (wife of Abraham), Rebekah (wife of Isaac) and Leah (one of the wives of Jacob) – (known as the Matriarchs), are entombed at Machpelah in Hebron, a site held holy by Jews, Muslims, and Christians. Only Rachel, Jacob's favorite wife, is said to be buried separately in the Tomb of Rachel, near Bethlehem, where she is believed to have died in childbirth. More broadly, the term can also refer to any of the major figures of the Book of Genesis, including the lineage of Adam, before the Great Flood, and the lineage of Noah to repopulate the earth after the Flood.
IT'S ALL IN VANITY FAIR
A tycoon's economic vanity
has been pursued past the point of insanity
to end there's no telling where,
but IT'S ALL IN VANITY FAIR
Sumner Redstone*
(the supposed) head of an economic Goliath
has long ruled alone
as a great Patriarch
but, unless he has a clone,
someday soon he must dieth.
While he still seems to have limited fun ,
at ninety one,
running his corporations,
he carefully avoids all stockholder greetings
and is carried behind curtains at their meetings
to avoid interrogations.
- Yes, it's all in Vanity Fairand you can read the details therewhich, though i suspect they're quite reliableread more like a story from the Hebrew Bible.
- With several wives and children and mistresses
- their varied ambitions and distresses,
- and destines combined ,
- from mattresses to fortresses
- intertwined.
