And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a
fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour
wherein I have laboured, and
wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.
And who knows whether that man will be wise or
foolish? Yet he will take over all the labor at which I have worked
skillfully under the sun. This too is
futile.
For what hath man of all his labour, and of the
vexation of his heart,
wherein he hath laboured under the sun?
For what does a man get for all the
toil and
striving with which he labors under the sun?
What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
What does the worker gain from his
toil?
All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time
wherein one man ruleth over another to his own
hurt.
All this I have seen, applying my mind to every deed that is done under the sun; there is a time when one man lords it over another to his own
detriment.

Put no more trust in man, who has only the breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?

But there the glorious LORD will be unto us a place of broad rivers and streams;
wherein shall go no
galley with oars, neither shall
gallant ship pass thereby.

galley with oars will row, and no
majestic vessel will pass.
And
Rabshakeh said unto them, Say ye now to
Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this
wherein thou trustest?

Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy
sorceries,
wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.

kneel down to be slaughtered, because I called and you did not answer, I spoke and you did not
listen; you did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.”

fenced cities,
wherein thou trustedst, with the sword.
They will
devour your harvest and food; they will
consume your sons and daughters; they will eat up your flocks and herds; they will feed on your vines and fig trees. With the sword they will destroy the fortified cities in which you trust.”
Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name,
wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to
Shiloh.
therefore what I did to
Shiloh I will now do to the house that bears My Name, the house in which you trust, the place that I gave to you and your fathers.
If thou hast run with the
footmen, and they have
wearied thee, then how canst thou
contend with horses? and if in the land of peace,
wherein thou trustedst, they
wearied thee, then how
wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
“If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you
compete with horses? If you
stumble in a peaceful land, how will you do in the thickets of the Jordan?
O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of
affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things
wherein there is no profit.
