Ecclesiastes 6:10 Context
8For what hath the wise more then the foole? what hath the poore, that knoweth to walke before the liuing? 9¶ Better is the sight of the eyes, then the wandering of the desire: this is also vanitie and vexation of spirit. 10That which hath bene, is named already, and it is knowen that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier then he. 11¶ Seeing there be many things that increase vanitie, what is man the better? 12For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the dayes of his vaine life, which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shal be after him vnder the sunne?
