In Context

4 For in vanity he came in, and in darkness he goeth, and in darkness his name is covered,

5 Even the sun he hath not seen nor known, more rest hath this than that.

6 And though he had lived a thousand years twice over, yet good he hath not seen; to the same place doth not every one go?

7 All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the soul is not filled.

8 For what advantage is to the wise above the fool? What to the poor who knoweth to walk before the living?

9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the going of the soul. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
