Ecclesiastes 6:4-10

⁴for it cometh in vanity, and departeth in darkness, and the name thereof is covered with darkness;

⁵moreover it hath not seen the sun nor known it; this hath gratification rather than the other;

⁶yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and enjoy no good; do not all go to one place?

⁷All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

⁸For what advantage hath the wise more than the fool? or the poor man that hath understanding, in walking before the living?

⁹Better is the seeing of the eyes than the wandering of the desire; this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

¹⁰Whatsoever cometh into being, the name thereof was given long ago, and it is foreknown what man is; neither can he contend with Him that is mightier than he.
