Ecclesiastes
from
the Old Testament
Page 6 of  12

All the labour of man [is] for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled (6:7)

For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living? (6:8)

Better [is] the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit (6:9)

That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it [is] man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he (6:10)

Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what [is] man the better? (6:11)

For who knoweth what [is] good for man in [this] life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun? (6:12)
