And I considered all labor, and every advantage of the work, that it is the envy of a man against his neighbor; this is also vanity and striving after wind.
For who knows what is good for man in this life, the number of the days of his life of vanity? Even he makes them like the shadow. For who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
Man is not a ruler over the spirit, to restrain the spirit; and not he has power in the day of death. And there is no discharge in that war, and wickedness shall not deliver its possessors.
