For all his days his work is painful and sorrowful; even at night his mind does not rest. This too is vanity (worthless).

That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

Far off is that which hath been, and deep, deep, who doth find it?

Yet, a foolish man, multiplieth words, - though no man knoweth that which hath been, and, that which shall be after him, who can tell him?
