What benefit does the worker have in his toil?
What benefit is there to a person in all his labors at which he toils under the sun?
And this also is a grave misery: As he entered, so will he leave; what benefit is there to the one who toils for the wind?
In all toil there is profit, but idle chatter of the lips leads only to poverty.
For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
Then I turned to all the work that my hands had done, and all the labor in which I had toiled doing it; and again, all of it was vanity and chasing the wind, and there was no benefit under the sun.
that you submit yourselves to such people, and to everyone who helps and labors with us.
