Ecclesiastes 6:11-12

EasyEnglish Bible

¹¹ If we talk too much,
    we will say silly things.
So it will not help anyone to talk with many words.
¹² Nobody knows the best way for us to live our lives.
We live for only a few years
    and our lives seem to have no purpose.
Our lives quickly disappear, like a shadow.
    Nobody can tell us what will happen on the earth after our death.
