Ecclesiastes 6:10-12

New Revised Standard w/ Apocrypha NRSA

10 Whatever has come to be has already been named, and it is known what human beings are, and that they are not able to dispute with those who are stronger.

11 The more words, the more vanity, so how is one the better?

12 For who knows what is good for mortals while they live the few days of their vain life, which they pass like a shadow? For who can tell them what will be after them under the sun?

New International Version NIV

10 Whatever exists has already been named, and what humanity is has been known; no one can contend with someone who is stronger.

11 The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?

12 For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?
