Ecclesiastes 6:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
Ecclesiastes 6:10-12
Evangelical Heritage Version
10 Whatever exists already has its name,[a] and it is already known what man is. He is not able to win in court against one who is stronger than he is.[b]
11 Yes, the more words,[c] the more vapor. What advantage does a man have?
12 For who knows what is good for a man in life, in the few days of his life, that vanishes like vapor, that passes like a shadow?[d] Who will tell the man what will be after him, under the sun?

Ecclesiastes 6:10-12
New International Version
10 Whatever exists has already been named,(A)
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(B) they pass through like a shadow?(C) Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?
