Can one say about anything,
“Look, this is new”?
It has already existed in the ages before us.

because who can eat and who can enjoy life apart from Him?

I have seen that there is nothing better than for a person to enjoy his activities because that is his reward. For who can enable him to see what will happen after he dies?

For if either falls, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to lift him up.

Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm; but how can one person alone keep warm?

And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.

As he came from his mother’s womb, so he will go again, naked as he came; he will take nothing for his efforts that he can carry in his hands.

For who knows what is good for man in life, in the few days of his futile life that he spends like a shadow? Who can tell man what will happen after him under the sun?

Consider the work of God,
for who can straighten out
what He has made crooked?

What exists is beyond reach and very deep. Who can discover it?

For the king’s word is authoritative, and who can say to him, “What are you doing?”

Yet no one knows what will happen because who can tell him what will happen?

Wisdom is better than weapons of war,
but one sinner can destroy much good.

Yet the fool multiplies words.
No one knows what will happen,
and who can tell anyone what will happen after him?
