What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
In all labour there is profit: But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
What profit hath man of all his labour wherein he laboureth under the sun?
Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.
And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that he laboureth for the wind?
For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?
that ye also be in subjection unto such, and to every one that helpeth in the work and laboureth.
