6:10 先前所有的,早已起了名,並知道何為人,他也不能與那比自己力大的相爭。
6:11 加增虛浮的事既多,這與人有甚麼益處呢?
6:12 人一生虛度的日子,就如影兒經過,誰知道甚麼與他有益呢?誰能告訴他身後在日光之下有甚麼事呢?
10 Whatever
exists has already been named,
and what humanity is has been known;
no one can contend
with someone who is stronger.
11 The more the words,
the less the meaning,
and how does that profit anyone?
and what humanity is has been known;

11 The more the words,
the less the meaning,
and how does that profit anyone?
12 For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and
meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will
happen under the sun after they are gone?

傳道者在這裡說到了人最無奈的事,就是許多人都希望自己的名聲被人知道,卻偏偏無人注意,仍然是一個無名小卒!感覺自己真的無法力挽狂瀾,出人頭地,使大家都認識!
然而傳道者告訴人,不要想要突破命定的限制,因為人被高舉是來自上帝的作為,不是自己做了甚麼,做得越多、說得越多,都無法與上帝對抗,改變自己的命定。
所以,我們要清楚自己的極限,不要去想要改變自己無法改變的事。不要浪費自己的生命在無意義的事,而要成為一個敬畏上帝的人。存著敬畏的心來為上帝而活,因為我們是上帝的傑作,生命的意義在上帝,不在自己!
