Ecclesiastes 2:18

Is There Real Happiness In Life?

¹⁷ Therefore I hated life; because the work that is done under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and like grasping the wind. ¹⁸ Yea, I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun: because I must leave it unto the man that shall be after me. ¹⁹ And who knows whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labor in which I have labored, and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.

Come After Me

On Earth

Toiled Under the Sun

Under the Sun

Taken Under The Sun
