What does man gain from all his labor in which he labors under the sun?

So what do people get in this life for all their hard work and anxiety?

What do people really get for all their hard work?

And this, too, is a very serious problem. People leave this world no better off than when they came. All their hard work is for nothing— like working for the wind.

But as I looked at everything I had worked so hard to accomplish, it was all so meaningless— like chasing the wind. There was nothing really worthwhile anywhere.

Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich. Be wise enough to know when to quit.In the blink of an eye wealth disappears, for it will sprout wings and fly away like an eagle.

And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?Is anything worth more than your soul?

But don’t be so concerned about perishable things like food. Spend your energy seeking the eternal life that the Son of Man can give you. For God the Father has given me the seal of his approval.”

In the few days of our meaningless lives, who knows how our days can best be spent? Our lives are like a shadow. Who can tell what will happen on this earth after we are gone?

And who can tell whether my successors will be wise or foolish? Yet they will control everything I have gained by my skill and hard work under the sun. How meaningless!

Even so, I have noticed one thing, at least, that is good. It is good for people to eat, drink, and enjoy their work under the sun during the short life God has given them, and to accept their lot in life.

Why spend your money on food that does not give you strength? Why pay for food that does you no good? Listen to me, and you will eat what is good. You will enjoy the finest food.

Whatever they did in their lifetime— loving, hating, envying— is all long gone. They no longer play a part in anything here on earth.

So I recommend having fun, because there is nothing better for people in this world than to eat, drink, and enjoy life. That way they will experience some happiness along with all the hard work God gives them under the sun.In my search for wisdom and in my observation of people’s burdens here on earth, I discovered that there is ceaseless activity, day and night.I realized that no one can discover everything God is doing under the sun. Not even the wisest people discover everything, no matter what they claim.

And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul?

Has not the Lord of Heaven’s Armies promised that the wealth of nations will turn to ashes? They work so hard, but all in vain!

It seems so wrong that everyone under the sun suffers the same fate. Already twisted by evil, people choose their own mad course, for they have no hope. There is nothing ahead but death anyway.

But most fortunate of all are those who are not yet born. For they have not seen all the evil that is done under the sun.

Wisdom is even better when you have money. Both are a benefit as you go through life.

Here is another bit of wisdom that has impressed me as I have watched the way our world works.

I observed yet another example of something meaningless under the sun.

“ What good is an idol carved by man, or a cast image that deceives you? How foolish to trust in your own creation— a god that can’t even talk!
