“ook,” says the Teacher, “this is what I have discovered:

God made mankind upright,
but men have gone in search of many schemes.”

This too is a grievous evil:

As a man comes, so he departs,
and what does he gain,
since he toils for the wind?

All his days he eats in darkness,
with great frustration, affliction and anger.
