6:4. For he came in vain, and goeth to darkness, and his name shall be wholly forgotten.
6:5. He hath not seen the sun, nor known the distance of good and evil:
6:6. Although he lived two thousand years, and hath not enjoyed good things: do not all make haste to one place?
6:7. All the labour of man is for his mouth, but his soul shall not be filled.
6:8. What hath the wise man more than the fool? and what the poor man, but to go thither, where there is life?
6:9. Better it is to see what thou mayst desire, than to desire that which thou canst not know. But this also is vanity, and presumption of spirit.
6:10. He that shall be, his name is already called: and it is known, that he is a man, and cannot contend in judgment with him that is stronger than himself.
6:11. There are many words that have much vanity in disputing.
