Ecclesiastes 6:7-12
7All the laborH5999 of manH120 is for his mouthH6310, and yet the appetiteH5315 is not filledH4390. 8For what advantageH3148 hath the wiseH2450 moreH4480 than the foolH3684? or what hath the poorH6041 man, that knoweth howH4100 to walkH1980 before the living? 9Better is the sight of the eyesH5869 than the wandering of the desireH5315: this alsoH1571 is vanityH1892 and a striving after windH7307.
10Whatsoever hath beenH1961, the nameH8034 thereof was given long ago; and it is knownH3045 what manH120 is; neither can he contend with him that is mightier than he. 11Seeing there are manyH7235 thingsH1697 that increaseH7235 vanityH1892, what is manH120 the better? 12For who knoweth what is goodH2896 for manH120 in his life, all the daysH3117 of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadowH6738? for who can tellH5046 a manH120 what shall beH1961 after him under the sunH8121?
