Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE
New International Version NIV
10 He that shall be, his name is already called: and it is known, that he is a man, and cannot contend in judgment with him that is stronger than himself.
10
Whatever exists has already been named, and what humanity is has been known; no one can contend with someone who is stronger.
11 There are many words that have much vanity in disputing.
11
The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?
12 (7-1) What needeth a man to seek things that are above him, whereas he knoweth not what is profitable for him in his life, in all the days of his pilgrimage, and the time that passeth like a shadow? Or who can tell him what shall be after him under the sun?
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?
