Ecclesiastes 6:11 in Context — Ecclesiastes 6
9 Ce que les yeux voient est préférable à l’agitation des désirs: c’est encore là une vanité et la poursuite du vent.
10 Ce qui existe a déjà été appelé par son nom; et l’on sait que celui qui est homme ne peut contester avec un plus fort que lui.
11 S’il y a beaucoup de choses, il y a beaucoup de vanités: quel avantage en revient-il à l’homme?
12 Car qui sait ce qui est bon pour l’homme dans la vie, pendant le nombre des jours de sa vie de vanité, qu’il passe comme une ombre? Et qui peut dire à l’homme ce qui sera après lui sous le soleil?
