Ecclesiastes 6:10-12

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

10 Whatever exists was given its name long ago, and who man is, is known. But he is not able to contend with the One stronger than he.

11 For when there are many words, they increase futility. What is the advantage for man?

12 For who knows what is good for man in life, in the few days of his futile life that he spends like a shadow? Who can tell man what will happen after him 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?
