Ecclesiastes 6:6-8
Lexham English Bible
6 Even if a man[a] lives a thousand years twice, if he[b] does not enjoy prosperity,[c] both suffer the same fate![d]
One Must Learn to Be Content with What One Has
7 All of a man’s toil is for his mouth—
yet his appetite is never satisfied.
8 So do the wise really have an advantage over fools?
Can the poor really gain anything by knowing how to act in front of others?[e]
