And God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was extremely good. Thus, the evening and the morning: Day Six.

And the world is passing away, and its lust; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

Therefore I hated life; because the work that is done under the sun is evil to me; for all is vanity and striving of spirit.

And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he shall have rule over all my labor in which I have labored, and acted wisely under the sun. This also is vanity.

For there is a man whose labor is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and with success; yet he shall leave it as inheritance to a man who has not labored in it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

For all his days are sorrows, and his task grief; yea, his heart does not take rest in the night. This also is vanity.

Behold, is it not of Jehovah of Hosts that the people labor only to feed the fire, and nations weary themselves only for vanity.

But godliness with contentment is great gain.
