Ecclesiastes 2:18

Is There Real Happiness In Life?

¹⁷ So I was hating life, because everything under the sun was evil to me: all is to no purpose and desire for wind. ¹⁸ Hate had I for all my work which I had done, because the man who comes after me will have its fruits. ¹⁹ And who is to say if that man will be wise or foolish? But he will have power over all my work which I have done and in which I have been wise under the sun. This again is to no purpose.

Come After Me

On Earth

Toiled Under the Sun

Under the Sun

Taken Under The Sun
