Ecclesiastes 6:7 in Context — Ecclesiastes 6
5 il n’a point vu, il n’a point connu le soleil; il a plus de repos que cet homme.
6 Et quand celui-ci vivrait deux fois mille ans, sans jouir du bonheur, tout ne va-t-il pas dans un même lieu?
7 Tout le travail de l’homme est pour sa bouche, et cependant ses désirs ne sont jamais satisfaits.
8 Car quel avantage le sage a-t-il sur l’insensé? Quel avantage a le malheureux qui sait se conduire en présence des vivants?
9 Ce que les yeux voient est préférable à l’agitation des désirs: c’est encore là une vanité et la poursuite du vent.
