Ecclesiastes 6:6-8
New Century Version

6 Even if he lives two thousand years, he doesn’t enjoy the good God gives him. Everyone is going to the same place.

7 People work just to feed themselves,
    but they never seem to get enough to eat.
8 In this way a wise person
    is no better off than a fool.
Then, too, it does a poor person little good
    to know how to get along in life.
