Ecclesiastes 6:11

There are words without number for increasing what is to no purpose, but what is man profited by them?

Psalm 73:6

For this reason pride is round them like a chain; they are clothed with violent behaviour as with a robe.

Ecclesiastes 1:6-9

The wind goes to the south, turning back again to the north; circling round for ever.

Ecclesiastes 1:17-18

And I gave my heart to getting knowledge of wisdom, and of the ways of the foolish. And I saw that this again was desire for wind.

I made a search with my heart to give pleasure to my flesh with wine, still guiding my heart with wisdom, and to go after foolish things, so that I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under the heavens all the days of their life.

Ecclesiastes 3:19

Because the fate of the sons of men and the fate of the beasts is the same. As is the death of one so is the death of the other, and all have one spirit. Man is not higher than the beasts; because all is to no purpose.

Ecclesiastes 4:1-4

And again I saw all the cruel things which are done under the sun; there was the weeping of those who have evil done to them, and they had no comforter: and from the hands of the evil-doers there went out power, but they had no comforter.

Ecclesiastes 4:8

It is one who is by himself, without a second, and without son or brother; but there is no end to all his work, and he has never enough of wealth. For whom, then, am I working and keeping myself from pleasure? This again is to no purpose, and a bitter work.
