Ecclesiastes 6:10-12
International Standard Version
10 Whatever exists has been named already;[a]
people know what it means[b] to be human—
and a person cannot defeat one who is more powerful than he.
11 Because many words lead to pointlessness,
how do people benefit from this?
12 Who knows what is best for people in this life, every day of their pointless lives that they pass through[c] like a shadow? Who informs people on earth what will come along after them?
