Verse 8

But if a man{H120} live{H2421}{(H8799)} many{H7235}{(H8687)} years{H8141}, and rejoice{H8055}{(H8799)} in them all; yet let him remember{H2142}{(H8799)} the days{H3117} of darkness{H2822}; for they shall be many{H7235}{(H8687)}. All that cometh{H935}{(H8804)} is vanity{H1892}.

Eccl 2:15 : 15 Then{H227} said{H559}{(H8804)} I in my heart{H3820}, As it happeneth{H4745} to the fool{H3684}, so it happeneth{H7136}{(H8799)} even to me{H1571}; and why was I then more{H3148} wise{H2449}{(H8804)}? Then I said{H1696}{(H8765)} in my heart{H3820}, that this also is vanity{H1892}.
Eccl 2:17 : 17 Therefore I hated{H8130}{(H8804)} life{H2416}; because the work{H4639} that is wrought{H6213}{(H8738)} under the sun{H8121} is grievous{H7451} unto me: for all is vanity{H1892} and vexation{H7469} of spirit{H7307}.
Eccl 2:19 : 19 And who knoweth{H3045}{(H8802)} whether he shall be a wise{H2450} man or a fool{H5530}? yet shall he have rule{H7980}{(H8799)} over all my labour{H5999} wherein I have laboured{H5998}{(H8804)}, and wherein I have shewed myself wise{H2449}{(H8804)} under the sun{H8121}. This is also vanity{H1892}.
Eccl 2:21-23 : 21 For there is{H3426} a man{H120} whose labour{H5999} is in wisdom{H2451}, and in knowledge{H1847}, and in equity{H3788}; yet to a man{H120} that hath not laboured{H5998}{(H8804)} therein shall he leave{H5414}{(H8799)} it for his portion{H2506}. This also is vanity{H1892} and a great{H7227} evil{H7451}. 22 For what hath{H1933}{(H8802)} man{H120} of all his labour{H5999}, and of the vexation{H7475} of his heart{H3820}, wherein{H1931} he hath laboured{H6001} under the sun{H8121}? 23 For all his days{H3117} are sorrows{H4341}, and his travail{H6045} grief{H3708}; yea, his heart{H3820} taketh not rest{H7901}{(H8804)} in the night{H3915}. This is also vanity{H1892}.
Eccl 2:26 : 26 For God giveth{H5414}{(H8804)} to a man{H120} that is good{H2896} in his sight{H6440} wisdom{H2451}, and knowledge{H1847}, and joy{H8057}: but to the sinner{H2398}{(H8802)} he giveth{H5414}{(H8804)} travail{H6045}, to gather{H622}{(H8800)} and to heap up{H3664}{(H8800)}, that he may give{H5414}{(H8800)} to him that is good{H2896} before{H6440} God{H430}. This also is vanity{H1892} and vexation{H7469} of spirit{H7307}.
Eccl 3:12-13 : 12 I know{H3045}{(H8804)} that there is no good{H2896} in them, but for a man to rejoice{H8055}{(H8800)}, and to do{H6213}{(H8800)} good{H2896} in his life{H2416}. 13 And also that every man{H120} should eat{H398}{(H8799)} and drink{H8354}{(H8804)}, and enjoy{H7200}{(H8804)} the good{H2896} of all his labour{H5999}, it is the gift{H4991} of God{H430}.
Eccl 4:8 : 8 There is{H3426} one{H259} alone, and there is not a second{H8145}; yea, he hath neither child{H1121} nor brother{H251}: yet is there no end{H7093} of all his labour{H5999}; neither is his eye{H5869} satisfied{H7646}{(H8799)} with riches{H6239}; neither saith he, For whom do I labour{H6001}, and bereave{H2637}{(H8764)} my soul{H5315} of good{H2896}? This is also vanity{H1892}, yea, it is a sore{H7451} travail{H6045}.
Eccl 4:16 : 16 There is no end{H7093} of all the people{H5971}, even of all that have been before{H6440} them: they also that come after{H314} shall not rejoice{H8055}{(H8799)} in him. Surely this also is vanity{H1892} and vexation{H7475} of spirit{H7307}.
Eccl 5:15-16 : 15 As he came forth{H3318}{(H8804)} of his mother's{H517} womb{H990}, naked{H6174} shall he return{H7725}{(H8799)} to go{H3212}{(H8800)} as he came{H935}{(H8804)}, and shall take{H5375}{(H8799)} nothing{H3972} of his labour{H5999}, which he may carry away{H3212}{(H8686)} in his hand{H3027}. 16 And this{H2090} also is a sore{H2470}{(H8802)} evil{H7451}, that in all points{H5980} as he came{H935}{(H8804)}, so shall he go{H3212}{(H8799)}: and what profit{H3504} hath he that hath laboured{H5998}{(H8799)} for the wind{H7307}?
Eccl 5:18-20 : 18 Behold that which I have seen{H7200}{(H8804)}: it is good{H2896} and comely{H3303} for one to eat{H398}{(H8800)} and to drink{H8354}{(H8800)}, and to enjoy{H7200}{(H8800)} the good{H2896} of all his labour{H5999} that he taketh{H5998}{(H8799)} under the sun{H8121} all{H4557} the days{H3117} of his life{H2416}, which God{H430} giveth{H5414}{(H8804)} him: for it is his portion{H2506}. 19 Every man{H120} also to whom God{H430} hath given{H5414}{(H8804)} riches{H6239} and wealth{H5233}, and hath given him power{H7980}{(H8689)} to eat{H398}{(H8800)} thereof, and to take{H5375}{(H8800)} his portion{H2506}, and to rejoice{H8055}{(H8800)} in his labour{H5999}; this{H2090} is the gift{H4991} of God{H430}. 20 For he shall not much{H7235}{(H8687)} remember{H2142}{(H8799)} the days{H3117} of his life{H2416}; because God{H430} answereth{H6031}{(H8688)} him in the joy{H8057} of his heart{H3820}.
Eccl 6:6 : 6 Yea, though{H432} he live{H2421}{(H8804)} a thousand{H505} years{H8141} twice{H6471} told, yet hath he seen{H7200}{(H8804)} no good{H2896}: do not all go{H1980}{(H8802)} to one{H259} place{H4725}?
Eccl 6:11 : 11 Seeing there be{H3426} many{H7235}{(H8687)} things{H1697} that increase{H7235}{(H8688)} vanity{H1892}, what is man{H120} the better{H3148}?

Eccl 8:12 : 12 Though a sinner{H2398}{(H8802)} do{H6213}{(H8802)} evil{H7451} an hundred times{H3967}, and his days be prolonged{H748}{(H8688)}, yet surely I know{H3045}{(H8802)} that it shall be well{H2896} with them that fear{H3373} God{H430}, which fear{H3372}{(H8799)} before{H6440} him:
Eccl 8:15 : 15 Then I commended{H7623}{(H8765)} mirth{H8057}, because a man{H120} hath no better thing{H2896} under the sun{H8121}, than to eat{H398}{(H8800)}, and to drink{H8354}{(H8800)}, and to be merry{H8055}{(H8800)}: for that shall abide{H3867}{(H8799)} with him of his labour{H5999} the days{H3117} of his life{H2416}, which God{H430} giveth{H5414}{(H8804)} him under the sun{H8121}.
Eccl 12:1-5 : 1 Remember{H2142}{(H8798)} now thy Creator{H1254}{(H8802)} in the days{H3117} of thy youth{H979}, while the evil{H7451} days{H3117} come{H935}{(H8799)} not, nor the years{H8141} draw nigh{H5060}{(H8689)}, when thou shalt say{H559}{(H8799)}, I have no pleasure{H2656} in them; 2 While the sun{H8121}, or the light{H216}, or the moon{H3394}, or the stars{H3556}, be not darkened{H2821}{(H8799)}, nor the clouds{H5645} return{H7725}{(H8804)} after{H310} the rain{H1653}: 3 In the day{H3117} when the keepers{H8104}{(H8802)} of the house{H1004} shall tremble{H2111}{(H8799)}, and the strong{H2428} men{H582} shall bow{H5791}{(H8694)} themselves, and the grinders{H2912}{(H8802)} cease{H988}{(H8804)} because they are few{H4591}{(H8765)}, and those that look out{H7200}{(H8802)} of the windows{H699} be darkened{H2821}{(H8804)}, 4 And the doors{H1817} shall be shut{H5462}{(H8795)} in the streets{H7784}, when the sound{H6963} of the grinding{H2913} is low{H8217}, and he shall rise up{H6965}{(H8799)} at the voice{H6963} of the bird{H6833}, and all the daughters{H1323} of musick{H7892} shall be brought low{H7817}{(H8735)}; 5 Also when they shall be afraid{H3372}{(H8799)} of that which is high{H1364}, and fears{H2849} shall be in the way{H1870}, and the almond tree{H8247} shall flourish{H5006}{(H8686)}, and the grasshopper{H2284} shall be a burden{H5445}{(H8691)}, and desire{H35} shall fail{H6565}{(H8686)}: because man{H120} goeth{H1980}{(H8802)} to his long{H5769} home{H1004}, and the mourners{H5594}{(H8802)} go about{H5437}{(H8804)} the streets{H7784}:

Joel 2:2 : 2 A day{H3117} of darkness{H2822} and of gloominess{H653}, a day{H3117} of clouds{H6051} and of thick darkness{H6205}, as the morning{H7837} spread{H6566}{(H8803)} upon the mountains{H2022}: a great{H7227} people{H5971} and a strong{H6099}; there hath not been{H1961}{(H8738)} ever{H5769} the like, neither shall be any more{H3254}{(H8686)} after{H310} it, even to the years{H8141} of many{H1755} generations{H1755}.
Matt 22:13 : 13 Then{G5119} said{G2036}{(G5627)} the king{G935} to the servants{G1249}, Bind{G1210}{(G5660)} him{G846} hand{G5495} and{G2532} foot{G4228}, and take{G142} him{G846} away{G142}{(G5657)}, and{G2532} cast{G1544}{(G5628)} him into{G1519} outer{G1857} darkness{G4655}; there{G1563} shall be{G2071}{(G5704)} weeping{G2805} and{G2532} gnashing{G1030} of teeth{G3599}.
