PROFIT

Ecclesiastes 1:3  What profit has man of all his labor wherein he labors under the sun?

Ecclesiastes 2:11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 3:9  What profit has he that works in that wherein he labors?

Ecclesiastes 5:9  Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

Ecclesiastes 5:16 And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go, and what profit has he that he labors for the wind?

Ecclesiastes 10:10 If the iron be blunt, and one do not sharpen the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.

SKILLS

Ecclesiastes 2:21 For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skillfulness; yet to a man that has not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion.  This also is vanity and a great evil.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happens to them all.
