2	A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this [is] vanity, and it [is] an evil disease.

10	That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it [is] man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

11	Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what [is] man the better?

12	For who knoweth what [is] good for man in [this] life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?
