Ecclesiastes 6:10-12

10WhateverH4100H7945 1existsH1961 has alreadyH3528 been namedH7121H8034, and it is knownH3045 whatH834 manH120 is; for he 2cannotH3201H3808 disputeH1777 with the 3one whoH7945 is mightierH8623 thanH4480 he is.

11For thereH3426 areH3426 manyH7235 wordsH1697 which increaseH7235 futilityH1892. WhatH4100 then is the advantageH3148 to a personH120?

12For whoH4310 knowsH3045 whatH4100 is goodH2896 for a personH120 during his lifetimeH2425, during the fewH4557 4yearsH3117 of his futileH1892 lifeH2425? He will 5spendH6213 them like a shadowH6738. For whoH4310 can tellH5046 a personH120 6whatH4100 will happenH1961 afterH310 him underH8478 the sunH8121?
