Ecclesiastes 6:4-8 English Revised Version (ERV)

4. for it cometh in vanity, and departeth in darkness, and the name thereof is covered with darkness;

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

6. yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet enjoy no good: do not all go to one place?

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

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