Eccl 6:12
For who [
1
limited by human wisdom] knows what is good for man during his lifetime, during the few days of his futile life? He spends them like a shadow [staying busy, but achieving nothing of lasting value]. For who can tell a man what will happen after him [to his work, his treasure, his plans] under the sun [after his life is over]?

The narrator is trying to prove that life is not worth living, but the Holy Spirit is using him to show that these conclusions are the tragic effect of living "under the sun"--ignoring the Lord, living apart from God the Father, oblivious to the Holy Spirit--and yet face to face with the mysteries of life and nature.
