Ecclesiastes 1: 2; 2: 21-23
Published : Sunday 01 August 2010
2 Ecclesiastes said: Vanity of vanities! Vanity of vanities, and all is vanity!
21 For when someone labors in wisdom, and doctrine, and prudence, he leaves behind what he has obtained to one who is idle. So this, too, is emptiness and a great burden.
22 For how can a man benefit from all his labor and affliction of spirit, by which he has been tormented under the sun?
23 All his days have been filled with sorrows and hardships; neither does he rest his mind, even in the night. And is this not emptiness?
