“ And he cannot altercate with one with more force than him.
11 Because there are many events, much mirage, what more for man? 12 Because who knows what is the good of a man in the life, in the number of days of his mirage life, living as a shadow, so that who will tell the man what will come after him, under the sun. ”

“ Chapter 8 1 Who is as the wise, and him who knows the meaning of events; man's wisdom will light his face, and the honor of his face will change.
2 Of me: Keep the king's word, and the word of a pledge to God.
3 Don't startle away from his presence, don't stand at an evil thing: because all that he will desire, he will do.
4 Regarding the words of a ruling king, and who does tell him "What shall you do?"
5 A commandment-keeper would not know an evil thing; and the heart of the wise will know time and judgement. ”

“ Also the world, he gave in their hearts--- without which why a man will not find any deed done by God, from the first to the last. 12 I knew that there is nothing good in these, if not to rejoice, to make good while he lives.

“ Mirage is better, with the subtle connotation of fraud, illusion, and vapor, but it has no good adjective form meaning "like a mirage", although you could use the word mirage itself as an adjective neologism. Bullshit is possibly closest, although it has the wrong connotation of profanity, and bogus is OK, but has no noun form, "bogosity" is too ponderous and "bogusness" is just ridiculous. ”

“ Fear God, and keep his commandments, because this is all to man. 14 Because to every deed God will bring judgment, over all that's hidden, whether good, or bad.
