Verse 8

There is{H3426} one{H259} that is alone, and he hath not a second;{H8145} yea, he hath neither son{H1121} nor brother;{H251} yet is there no end{H7093} of all his labor,{H5999} neither are his eyes{H5869} satisfied{H7646} with riches.{H6239} For whom then, [saith he], do I labor,{H6001} and deprive{H2637} my soul{H5315} of good?{H2896} This also is vanity,{H1892} yea, it is a sore{H7451} travail.{H6045}
