² The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

²² Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

¹² For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

⁷ For he knoweth not that which shall be: for who can tell him when it shall be?
