Ecclesiastes 6:1 NIV
I have seen another evil under the sun, and it weighs heavily on mankind

Ecclesiastes 6:8 NIV
What advantage have the wise over fools? What do the poor gain by knowing how to conduct themselves before others?
Ecclesiastes 6:9 NIV
Better what the eye sees than the roving of the appetite. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

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