Ecclesiastes 2:18

Is There Real Happiness In Life?

¹⁷ Therefore I hated life because every work that is wrought under the sun was grievous unto me; for all was vanity and vexation of spirit. ¹⁸ Thus I hated all the fruit of my labor for which I had labored under the sun, for I must leave it to the man who will come after me. ¹⁹ And who knows whether he shall be a wise man or a fool, he who shall have rule over all my labour in which I have laboured and in which I have showed myself wise under the sun? This is also vanity.

On Earth

Toiled Under the Sun

Under the Sun

Taken Under The Sun
