Ecclesiastes 6:10-12

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ Whatever exists was given its name long ago,^[a](A) and it is known what mankind is. But he is not able to contend with the one stronger than he.^{(B) 11} For when there are many words, they increase futility.^(C) What is the advantage for mankind? ¹² For who knows what is good for anyone in life, in the few days of his futile life that he spends like a shadow?^(D) Who can tell anyone what will happen after him under the sun?
