For he cometh into vanity, and goeth into darkness.
For he commeth into vanitie, and goeth into darkenes.
That is, naked, destitute of all things and needy he came into the world, so he liveth, and so he dyeth: because he enjoyeth not his goods, but only is troubled with care and desire of more. This is nought else, but to have nothing, and to be bare and beggarly.

And his name shall be covered in darkness.
And his name shall be couered in darkenes.
That is, he doth nothing worthy of name, or commendable in his house, but only it is said of him, he was neither his own friend, nor other mens. Such a miserable man, as no man would desire to follow.
