Ecclesiastes 6:5-12
-
5 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.
-
6 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?
-
7 All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
-
8 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?
-
9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
-
10 That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.
-
11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?
-
12 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
