Ecclesiastes 6:7-12
7AllH3605 a man’sH120 laborH5999 is for his mouthH6310, yetH1571 his appetiteH5315 is neverH3808 satisfiedH4390.1
8WhatH4100 advantageH3148, thenH3588, has the wise manH2450 overH4480 the foolH3684? WhatH4100 gain comes to the poor manH6041 who knowsH3045 how to conduct himselfH1980 beforeH5048 othersH2416? 9BetterH2896 what the eyeH5869 can seeH4758 than the wanderingH1980 of desireH5315. ThisH2088 tooH1571 is futileH1892 and a pursuitH7469 of the windH7307.
10WhateverH4100 existsH1961 was namedH7121H8034 long agoH3528, and it is knownH3045 whatH834 manH120 is; but heH1931 cannotH3808H3201 contendH1777 withH5973 one strongerH8630 than heH4480. 11ForH3588 the moreH3426H7235 wordsH1697, the moreH7235 futilityH1892—and howH4100 does that profitH3148 anyoneH120? 12ForH3588 whoH4310 knowsH3045 whatH4100 is goodH2896 for a manH120 during the fewH4557 daysH3117 in which he passes throughH6213 his fleetingH1892 lifeH2416 like a shadowH6738? WhoH4310 can tellH5046 a manH120 whatH4100 will comeH1961 after himH310 underH8478 the sunH8121?
