Ecclesiastes 6:5-7
New Catholic Bible
5 Moreover, it has never seen the sun or known anything, yet its state is better than his. 6 It could live a thousand years twice over and experience no enjoyment, yet both will go to the same place.[a]
7 All man’s toil is for the mouth,
yet his appetite is never satisfied.
Footnotes
- Ecclesiastes 6:6 Same place: i.e., the grave. Qoheleth is still speaking about what humans can observe; they see both the good and the evil die, but they do not see what happens to each of them (see v. 12; 3:21).
