Ecclesiastes 6:10-12

10Whatever 1exists has already been named, and it is known what man is; for he 2cannot dispute with him who is stronger than he is.

11For there are many words which increase futility. What then is the advantage to a man?

12For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few 3years of his futile life? He will 4spend them like a shadow. For who can tell a man 5what will be after him under the sun?
