Ecclesiastes 6:10-12
Legacy Standard Bible
10 Whatever (A)exists has already been named, and it is known what man is; and he (B)cannot dispute with him who is stronger than he is. 11 For there are many words which increase vanity. What then is the advantage to a man? 12 For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few days of his vain life? He will make do with them like a (C)shadow. For who can tell a man (D)what will be after him under the sun?

Ecclesiastes 6:10-12
New King James Version
10 Whatever one is, he has been named (A)already,
For it is known that he is man;
(B)And he cannot contend with Him who is mightier than he.
11 Since there are many things that increase vanity,
How is man the better?
12 For who knows what is good for man in life, [a]all the days of his [b]vain life which he passes like (C)a shadow? (D)Who can tell a man what will happen after him under the sun?
