Ecclesiastes 2:18

Is There Real Happiness In Life?

¹⁷ Therefore I hated life; because the work that is done under the sun is sad to me; for all is vanity and vexation of spirit. ¹⁸ Yes, I hated all my labor which I had done under the sun; that I must leave it to the man who shall be after me. ¹⁹ And who knows whether he shall be wise or a fool? Yet he shall have rule over all my labor in which I have labored, and acted wisely under the sun. This is also vanity.

Come After Me

On Earth

Toiled Under the Sun

Under the Sun

Taken Under The Sun
