Ecclesiastes 6:6-8
New International Reader's Version

6 And that’s true even if he lives for 2,000 years but doesn’t get to enjoy his wealth. All people die and go to the grave, don’t they?

7 People eat up everything they work to get.
    But they are never satisfied.
8 What advantage do wise people have
    over those who are foolish?
What do poor people gain
    by knowing how to act toward others?
