What profit does he have who works in that in which he labors?
In all labor there is gain, but the talk of the lips tends only to poverty.
What is the profit to a man in all his labor which he labors under the sun?
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done, and on the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit; and there is no profit under the sun.
And this also is a sore evil, that in all, as he came, so shall he go; and what profit does he have who has labored for the wind?
For what is a man profited if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
See that you also submit to such ones, and to everyone working and laboring with me.
