Ecclesiastes 6:7-12

7All of a person’s labor is for his stomach, yet the appetite is never satisfied.

8What advantage then does the wise person have over the fool? What advantage is there for the poor person who knows how to conduct himself before others?

9Better what the eyes see than wandering desire. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

10Whatever exists was given its name long ago, and it is known what mankind is. But he is not able to contend with the one stronger than he.

11For when there are many words, they increase futility. What is the advantage for mankind?

12For who knows what is good for anyone in life, in the few days of his futile life that he spends like a shadow? Who can tell anyone what will happen after him under the sun?
