Ecclesiastes 6:5-11

⁵moreover it hath not seen nor known the sun: this hath rest rather than the other.

⁶Yea, though he live twice a thousand years, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?

¹⁰That which is hath already been named; and what man is, is known, and that he cannot contend with him that is mightier than he.

¹¹For there are many things that increase vanity: what is man advantaged?
