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?

9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
