'Lives' in the Bible

I explored with my mind how to let my body enjoy life with wine and how to grasp folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom—until I could see what is good for people to do under heaven during the few days of their lives.

God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time, but he has also placed ignorance in the human heart so that people cannot discover what God has ordained, from the beginning to the end of their lives.

So I realized that there is {nothing better} for them than to {rejoice and enjoy themselves} during their lives.

I observed everyone who lives and walks on earth, along with the youth who will take the king's place.

Furthermore, all his days he lives in darkness with great sorrow, anger, and affliction.

A man may father a hundred children and live many years. No matter how long he lives, if he is not satisfied by good things and does not even have a proper burial, I say that a stillborn child is better off than he.

And if he lives a thousand years twice, but does not experience happiness, do not both go to the same place?

Because many words lead to pointlessness, how do people benefit from this? 12Who knows what is best for people in this life, every day of their pointless lives that they pass through like a shadow? Who informs people on earth what will come along after them?

For wisdom is protection just as money is protection,But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.

In my futile life I have seen everything: there is a righteous man who perishes in spite of his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives long in spite of his evil.

Though a sinner commits crimes a hundred times, and lives long, yet surely I know that it will be better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.

This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one fate for all men. Furthermore, the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil and insanity is in their hearts throughout their lives. Afterwards they go to the dead.

Furthermore, the way a fool lives shows he has no sense; he proclaims to everyone that he's a fool.

Even if a person lives many years, let him enjoy them all, recalling that there will be many days of darkness to come all of which are pointless.
