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

8For what advantage hath the wise more than the fool? [or] what hath the poor man, that knoweth how to walk before the living?

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

10Whatsoever hath been, the name thereof was given long ago; and it is know what man is; neither can he contend with him that is mightier than he.

11Seeing there are many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?

12For who knoweth what is good for man in [his] 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?
