6:11a For the more words, the more futility—

(New American Standard Bible🙂 For there are many words which increase futility

The more words you speak, the less they mean.
-or-
Therefore, the more you talk, the more useless are your words.

6:11b and how does that profit anyone?

So what are ⌊many⌋ words good for? ⌊They are good for nothing.⌋
-or-
You gain nothing by it.
