Ecclesiastes 6:10 in Context — Ecclesiastes 6
8 Pois que vantagem tem o sábio sobre o tolo? E que [mais] tem o pobre que sabe como se comportar diante dos vivos?
9 Melhor é a vista dos olhos do que o vaguear da cobiça; também isto é fútil [como] perseguir o vento.
10 Seja o que for, seu nome já foi chamado; e [já] se sabe o que o homem é; e que não pode disputar contra aquele que é mais poderoso do que ele.
11 Pois quanto mais palavras há, maior é a futilidade; e que proveito há [nelas] para o homem?
12 Pois quem sabe o que é bom nesta vida para o homem, durante os dias de sua vida de futilidade, os quais ele gasta como sombra? Pois quem contará ao homem o que haverá depois dele abaixo do sol?
