Ecclesiastes 6:11

Ecclesiastes 6:11 in 6 English translations. Each links through to the full chapter for context.

New International Version (NIV)

11The more the words,

the less the meaning,

and how does that profit anyone?

11For there are many words which increase futility. What then is the advantage to a person?

11For there are many words which increase futility. What then is the advantage to a man?

11For there are many other words that increase futility. What then is the advantage for a man?

11For the more words, the more futility — and how does that profit anyone?

11The more words people use,

the less meaning there is.

And that doesn’t help anyone.
