'Everything' in the Bible

"Futile! Futile!" laments the Teacher, "Absolutely futile! Everything is futile!"

I reflected on everything that is accomplished by man on earth, and I concluded: Everything he has accomplished is futile -- like chasing the wind!

Yet when I reflected on everything I had accomplished and on all the effort that I had expended to accomplish it, I concluded: "All these achievements and possessions are ultimately profitless -- like chasing the wind! There is nothing gained from them on earth."

For everything there is an appointed time, and an appropriate time for every activity on earth:

God has made everything fit beautifully in its appropriate time, but he has also placed ignorance in the human heart so that people cannot discover what God has ordained, from the beginning to the end of their lives.

Also, do not pay attention to everything that people say; otherwise, you might even hear your servant cursing you.

While applying my mind to everything that happens in this world, I have seen all this: Sometimes one person dominates other people to their harm.

This is the unfortunate fact about everything that happens on earth: the same fate awaits everyone. In addition to this, the hearts of all people are full of evil, and there is folly in their hearts during their lives -- then they die.

Feasts are made for laughter, and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything.

Just as you do not know the path of the wind, or how the bones form in the womb of a pregnant woman, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything.

Having heard everything, I have reached this conclusion: Fear God and keep his commandments, because this is the whole duty of man.
