'Except' in the Bible

I have known that there is no good for them except to rejoice and to do good during their life,

In the multiplying of good have its consumers been multiplied, and what benefit is to its possessor except the sight of his eyes?

And I have praised mirth because there is no good to man under the sun except to eat and to drink, and to rejoice, and it remaineth with him of his labour the days of his life that God hath given to him under the sun.
