Ecclesiastes 12:8

Motto Restated

⁷ Then the dust will return to the earth as it was. The spirit (life) will return to God who gave it. ⁸ “Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher, “all is vanity!” ⁹ Moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. He gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

All is Vanity

All Things

Vanity of Vanities

No man has the power to restrain the wind, to retain the breath of life. Neither does he have power in the day of death. There is no discharge from that war. Neither will wickedness deliver those who are given to it.
