1:10 Is there anything about which someone can say, “Look at this! It is new!”?
It was already done long ago, before our time.
2:23 For all day long his work produces pain and frustration,
and even at night his mind cannot relax!
This also is futile!
3:12 I have concluded that there is nothing better for people
than to be happy and to enjoy
themselves as long as they live,
9:6 What they loved, as well as what they hated and envied, perished long ago,
and they no longer have a part in anything that happens on earth.
