American Standard Version
"All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled. "
— Ecclesiastes 6:7, American Standard Version
“All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.”
“All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.”
“All of man’s labor is for nothing more than to fill his stomach– yet his appetite is never satisfied!”
“All the labour of man is for his mouth, but his soul shall not be filled.”
“All the work of man is for his mouth, and still he has a desire for food.”
“All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.”
for it cometh in vanity, and departeth in darkness, and the name thereof is covered with darkness;
moreover it hath not seen the sun nor known it; this hath rest rather than the other:
yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet enjoy no good, do not all go to one place?
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
For what advantage hath the wise more than the fool? or what hath the poor man, that knoweth 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 striving after wind.
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.
