World English Bible
"Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he."
— Ecclesiastes 6:10, World English Bible
“That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.”
“Whatsoever hath been, the name thereof was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him that is mightier than he. ”
“The Futile Way Life Works Whatever has happened was foreordained, and what happens to a person was also foreknown. It is useless for him to argue with God about his fate because God is more powerful than he is.”
“He that shall be, his name is already called: and it is known, that he is a man, and cannot contend in judgment with him that is stronger than himself.”
“That which is, has been named before, and of what man is there is knowledge. He has no power against one stronger than he.”
“That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.”
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
For what advantage has the wise more than the fool? What has the poor man, that knows how to walk before the living?
Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.
Whatever has been, its name was given long ago; and it is known what man is; neither can he contend with him who is mightier than he.
For there are many words that create vanity. What does that profit man?
For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends like a shadow? For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?
