Ecclesiastes
- Ecclesiastes 1:3What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?What does a man gain from all his labor, at which he toils under the sun?
- Ecclesiastes 2:11Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.Yet when I considered all the works that my hands had accomplished and what I had toiled to achieve, I found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind; there was nothing to be gained under the sun.
- Ecclesiastes 2:13Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.And I saw that wisdom exceeds folly, just as light exceeds darkness:
- Ecclesiastes 3:9What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?What does the worker gain from his toil?
- Ecclesiastes 5:9Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.The produce of the earth is taken by all; the king himself profits from the fields.
- Ecclesiastes 5:16And this also is a sore evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath laboured for the wind?This too is a grievous evil: Exactly as a man is born, so he will depart. What does he gain as he toils for the wind?
- Ecclesiastes 7:12For wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.For wisdom, like money, is a shelter, and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of its owner.
- Ecclesiastes 10:10If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.If the axe is dull and the blade unsharpened, more strength must be exerted, but skill produces success.
- Ecclesiastes 10:11Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.If the snake bites before it is charmed, there is no profit for the charmer.
