The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?

The more words people use, the less meaning there is. And that doesn’t help anyone.

The more words, the more vanity, and what is the advantage to man?

For there are many words that create vanity. What does that profit man?

For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, and in many words: but fear thou God.

And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also was a striving after wind.For in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he continually multiplieth lies and desolation; and they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.

Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; Violence covereth them as a garment.

The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it turneth about continually in its course, and the wind returneth again to its circuits.All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; unto the place whither the rivers go, thither they go again.All things are full of weariness; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was: yet they that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, saith he, do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and, behold, the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.Wherefore I praised the dead that have been long dead more than the living that are yet alive;yea, better than them both did I esteem him that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.Then I saw all labor and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their life.I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards;I made me gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit;I made me pools of water, to water therefrom the forest where trees were reared;I bought men- servants and maid- servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that were before me in Jerusalem;I gathered me also silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I gat me men- singers and women- singers, and the delights of the sons of men, musical instruments, and that of all sorts.So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor; and this was my portion from all my labor.Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; and man hath no preeminence above the beasts: for all is vanity.
