What does man gain from all his labor in which he labors under the sun?

Then I looked at all the works that my hands had worked, and at the labor that I had labored to do; and behold, all was vanity and a chasing after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.

Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.

What profit has he who works in that in which he labors?

Moreover the profit of the earth is for all. The king profits from the field.

This also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go. And what profit does he have who labors for the wind?

For wisdom is a defense, even as money is a defense; but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.

If the ax is blunt, and one doesn’t sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength; but skill brings success.

If the snake bites before it is charmed, then is there no profit for the charmer’s tongue.
