nsb@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @ God has given man riches, wealth and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires. Yet God has not empowered him to partake of them for a foreigner enjoys them. This is vanity and a severe affliction.

nsb@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @ What does the wise have more than the fool? What does the poor have knowing how to walk before man?

nsb@Ecclesiastes:6:12 @ Who knows what is good for man in this life? Are all the days of his vain life that he spends like a shadow? Who can tell a man what will happen after his existence under the sun?
