Ecclesiastes 6:8

New International Version

⁸What advantage have the wise over fools?^(A)
What do the poor gain
by knowing how to conduct themselves before others?

¹¹The more words, the more vanity, so how is one the better?

¹¹The more the words,
the less the meaning,
and how does that profit anyone?
