Ecclesiastes 6:8-12

⁸What hath a wise man more than a fool? and what hath a poor man, but that he go thither, where is life?

⁹It is better to see that, that thou covetest, than to desire that, that thou knowest not; but also this is vanity, and presumption of spirit.

¹⁰The name of him that shall come, is called now, and it is known, that he is a man, and he may not strive in doom against a stronger than himself.

¹¹Words be full many, and have much vanity in disputing. What need is it to a man to seek greater things than himself;

¹²since he knoweth not, what shall befall to him in his life, in the number of days of his pilgrimage, and in the time that passeth as shadow? either who may show to him, what thing under the sun shall come after him?
