7All man's efforts are for his mouth, yet his appetite is never satisfied.


In Context

4 It comes without meaning, it departs in darkness, and in darkness its name is shrouded.

5 Though it never saw the sun or knew anything, it has more rest than does that man-

6 even if he lives a thousand years twice over but fails to enjoy his prosperity. Do not all go to the same place?

7 All man's efforts are for his mouth, yet his appetite is never satisfied.

8 What advantage has a wise man over a fool? What does a poor man gain by knowing how to conduct himself before others?

9 Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
