New International Reader's Version

Ecclesiastes 6:7-11 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

7. Man eats up everything he works to get. But he is never satisfied.

8. What advantage does a wise man have over someone who is foolish? What does a poor man gain by knowing how to act toward others?

9. Being satisfied with what you have is better than always wanting more. That doesn't have any meaning either. It's like chasing the wind.

10. God has already planned what now exists. He has already decided what man is. A man can't argue with the One who is stronger than he is.

11. The more words people use, the less meaning there is. And that doesn't help anyone.
