5. Even the sun he hath not seen nor known, more rest hath this than that.
6. And though he had lived a thousand years twice over, yet good he hath not seen; to the same place doth not every one go?
7. All the labour of man [is] for his mouth, and yet the soul is not filled.
8. For what advantage [is] to the wise above the fool? What to the poor who knoweth to walk before the living?
9. Better [is] the sight of the eyes than the going of the soul. This also [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
10. What [is] that which hath been? already is its name called, and it is known that it [is] man, and he is not able to contend with him who is stronger than he.
11. For there are many things multiplying vanity; what advantage [is] to man?
12. For who knoweth what [is] good for a man in life, the number of the days of the life of his vanity, and he maketh them as a shadow? for who declareth to man what is after him under the sun?
