Ecclesiastes 6:6 Context
4For he commeth in with vanitie, and departeth in darkenesse, and his name shall be couered with darkenesse. 5Moreouer hee hath not seene the Sunne, nor knowen any thing: this hath more rest then the other. 6¶ Yea though he liue a thousand yeeres twice told, yet hath he seene no good: Doe not all goe to one place? 7All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled. 8For what hath the wise more then the foole? what hath the poore, that knoweth to walke before the liuing?
