8 Useless, useless, said the Philosopher. It is all useless.

Ecclesiastes 12:8 In-Context

6 The silver chain will snap, and the golden lamp will fall and break; the rope at the well will break, and the water jar will be shattered.
7 Our bodies will return to the dust of the earth, and the breath of life will go back to God, who gave it to us.
8 Useless, useless, said the Philosopher. It is all useless.
9 But because the Philosopher was wise, he kept on teaching the people what he knew. He studied proverbs and honestly tested their truth.
10 The Philosopher tried to find comforting words, but the words he wrote were honest.
