"What¹ profitª hath a manª of all¹ his labourª which he takethª°¹ under¹ the sun?ª" {Ecc 1:3} + "Then I¹ lookedª° on all¹ the worksª that my hands² had wrought,ª°¹¹ and on the labourª that I had labouredª°¹ to do:ª° and, behold,¹ all¹ [was] vanityª and vexationª of spirit,ª and [there was] no¹ profitª under¹ the sun.ª" {Ecc 2:11} + "For¹ what¹ hathª° manª of all¹ his labour,ª and of the vexationª of his heart,ª wherein² he¹¹ hath labouredª under¹ the sun?ª ... For¹ all¹ his daysª [are] sorrows,ª and his travailª grief;ª yea,¹ his heartª taketh not¹ restª° in the night.ª This¹ is also¹ vanity.ª" {Ecc 2:22-23} + "And thisª also¹ [is] a soreª° evil,ª [that] in all¹ pointsª as he came,ª°¹ so¹ shall he go:²°¹ and what¹ profitª hath he that hath labouredª°¹ for the wind?ª" {Ecc 5:16} + "In all¹ labourª there is¹ profit:ª but the talkª of the lipsª [tendeth] only¹ to penury.ª" {Prv 14:23} + "Forª whatª is a manª profited,ª° ifª he shall gainª° the¹ wholeª world,ª and²¹ loseª° his own²¹ soul?ª orª whatª shall a manª giveª° in exchangeª for his²¹ soul?ª" {Mtt 16:26} |
