What gain has the worker from his toil?
In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to want.
What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun?
Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had spent in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.
This also is a grievous evil: just as he came, so shall he go; and what gain has he that he toiled for the wind,
For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give in return for his life?
I urge you to be subject to such men and to every fellow worker and laborer.
