21:006:002 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so
           that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth,
           yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger
           eateth it:  this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

21:006:003 If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so
           that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled
           with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an
           untimely birth is better than he.

21:006:004 For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and
           his name shall be covered with darkness.

21:006:005 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing:  this
           hath more rest than the other.

21:006:006 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he
           seen no good:  do not all go to one place?

21:006:007 All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite
           is not filled.

21:006:008 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor,
           that knoweth to walk before the living?

21:006:009 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the
           desire:  this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

21:006:010 That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it
           is man:  neither may he contend with him that is mightier than
           he.

21:006:011 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man
           the better?

21:006:012 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the
           days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who
           can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

21:007:001 A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of
           death than the day of one’s birth.

21:007:002 It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the
           house of feasting:  for that is the end of all men; and the
           living will lay it to his heart.

21:007:003 Sorrow is better than laughter:  for by the sadness of the
           countenance the heart is made better.

21:007:004 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the
           heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

21:007:005 It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to
           hear the song of fools.

21:007:006 For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter
           of the fool:  this also is vanity.

21:007:007 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth
           the heart.

21:007:008 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof:  and
           the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.
