What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips {tendeth} only to penury.

And this also {is} a sore evil, {that} in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?

For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?

Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all {was} vanity and vexation of spirit, and {there was} no profit under the sun.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
