Ecclesiastes 2:2 (GW)

I thought, “Laughter doesn’t make any sense. What does pleasure accomplish?”

Ecclesiastes 2:3 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
I explored ways to make myself feel better by drinking wine. I also explored ways to do some foolish things. During all that time, wisdom continued to control my mind. I was able to determine whether this was good for mortals to do during their brief lives under heaven.

Ecclesiastes 2:4 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
I accomplished some great things: I built houses for myself. I planted vineyards for myself.

Ecclesiastes 2:5 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
I made gardens and parks for myself. I planted every kind of fruit tree in them.

Ecclesiastes 2:6 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
I made pools to water the forest of growing trees.

Ecclesiastes 2:7 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
I bought male and female slaves. In addition, slaves were born in my household. I owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me.

Ecclesiastes 2:8 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
I also gathered silver and gold for myself. I gathered the treasures of kings and provinces. I provided myself with male and female singers and the pleasures men have with one concubine after another.

Ecclesiastes 2:9 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So I grew richer than anyone in Jerusalem before me. Yet, my wisdom remained with me.

Ecclesiastes 2:10 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
If something appealed to me, I did it. I allowed myself to have any pleasure I wanted, since I found pleasure in my work. This was my reward for all my hard work.

Ecclesiastes 2:11 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
But when I turned to look at all that I had accomplished and all the hard work I had put into it, I saw that it was all pointless. It was like trying to catch the wind. I gained nothing from any of my accomplishments under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 2:12 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Then I turned my attention to experience wisdom, madness, and foolishness. For instance, what can the man who replaces the king do? Only what has already been done.

Ecclesiastes 2:13 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
But I saw that wisdom has an advantage over foolishness as light has an advantage over darkness.

Ecclesiastes 2:14 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
A wise person uses the eyes in his head, but a fool walks in the dark. But I have also come to realize that the same destiny waits for both of them.

Ecclesiastes 2:15 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
I thought to myself, “If the destiny that waits for the fool waits for me as well, then what is the advantage in being wise?” So I thought that even this is pointless.

Ecclesiastes 2:16 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Neither the wise person nor the fool will be remembered for long, since both will be forgotten in the days to come. Both the wise person and the fool will die.

Ecclesiastes 2:17 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
So I came to hate life because everything done under the sun seemed wrong to me. Everything was pointless. It was like trying to catch the wind.

Ecclesiastes 2:18 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
I came to hate everything for which I had worked so hard under the sun, because I will have to leave it to the person who replaces me.

Ecclesiastes 2:19 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? He will still have control over everything under the sun for which I worked so hard and used my wisdom. Even this is pointless.

Ecclesiastes 2:20 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Then I fell into despair over everything for which I had worked so hard under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 2:21 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Here is someone who had worked hard with wisdom, knowledge, and skill. Yet, he must turn over his estate to someone else, who didn’t work for it. Even this is pointless and a terrible tragedy.

Ecclesiastes 2:22 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
What do people get from all of their hard work and struggles under the sun?

Ecclesiastes 2:23 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Their entire life is filled with pain, and their work is unbearable. Even at night their minds don’t rest. Even this is pointless.

Ecclesiastes 2:24 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
There is nothing better for people to do than to eat, drink, and find satisfaction in their work. I saw that even this comes from the hand of God.

Ecclesiastes 2:25 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
Who can eat or enjoy themselves without God?

Ecclesiastes 2:26 (GW)
Square Portrait Landscape 4K UHD
God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy to anyone who pleases him. But to the person who continues to sin, he gives the job of gathering and collecting wealth. The sinner must turn his wealth over to the person who pleases God. Even this is pointless. It’s like trying to catch the wind.
