'Lives' in the Bible

I decided to indulge in wine, while still remaining committed to wisdom. I also tried to indulge in foolishness, just enough to determine whether it was good for human beings under heaven given the short time of their lives.

I observed everyone who lives and walks on earth, along with the youth who will take the king's place.

Furthermore, all his days he lives in darkness with great sorrow, anger, and affliction.

Even if he lives a thousand years twice over without experiencing the best aren't all of them going to the same place?

Because many words lead to pointlessness, how do people benefit from this? 12Who knows what is best for people in this life, every day of their pointless lives that they pass through like a shadow? Who informs people on earth what will come along after them?

I have seen it all during my pointless life: both a righteous person who dies while he is righteous, and a wicked person who lives to an old age, while remaining wicked.

Furthermore, the way a fool lives shows he has no sense; he proclaims to everyone that he's a fool.

Even if a person lives many years, let him enjoy them all, recalling that there will be many days of darkness to come all of which are pointless.
