Ecclesiastes 6:10-12
New American Standard Bible
10 Whatever (A)exists has already been named, and it is known what man is; for he (B)cannot dispute with the [a]one who is mightier than he is. 11 For there are many words which increase futility. What then is the advantage to a person? 12 For who knows what is good for a person during his lifetime, during the few [b]years of his futile life? He will [c]spend them like a shadow. For who can tell a person (C)what will happen after him under the sun?

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 man? 12 For who knows what is good for man in life, in the few days of his futile life that he spends like a shadow?(D) Who can tell man what will happen after him under the sun?
