2:20 So I began to despair about all the fruit of my labor
for which I worked so hard on earth.
2:22 What does a man acquire from all his labor
and from the anxiety that accompanies his toil on earth?
3:21 Who really knows if the human spirit ascends upward,
and the animal’s spirit descends into the earth?
4:15 I considered all the living who walk on earth,
as well as the successor who would arise in his place.
5:13 Here is a misfortune on earth that I have seen:
Wealth hoarded by its owner to his own misery.
7:20 For there is not one truly righteous person on the earth
who continually does good and never sins.
9:13 This is what I also observed about wisdom on earth,
and it is a great burden to me:
11:2 Divide your merchandise among seven or even eight investments,
for you do not know what calamity may happen on earth.
