  • Ecclesiastes 1:2-3
    "Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher;
    "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity."
    What profit has a man from all his labor
    In which he toils under the sun?

     
  • Ecclesiastes 1:8-11
    All things are full of labor;
    Man cannot express it.
    The eye is not satisfied with seeing,
    Nor the ear filled with hearing.
    That which has been is what will be,
    That which is done is what will be done,
    And there is nothing new under the sun.
    Is there anything of which it may be said,
    "See, this is new"?
    It has already been in ancient times before us.
    There is no remembrance of former things,
    Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come
    By those who will come after.
     
  • Ecclesiastes 3:16-17
    Moreover I saw under the sun:
    In the place of judgment,
    Wickedness was there;
    And in the place of righteousness,
    Iniquity was there. I said in my heart,
    "God shall judge the righteous and the wicked,
    For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work."
     
  • Ecclesiastes 3:1
    To everything there is a season,
    A time for every purpose under heaven:

     
  • Ecclesiastes 3:12-13
    I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives, and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.

     
  • Ecclesiastes 1:13-15
    And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised. I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.
    What is crooked cannot be made straight,
    And what is lacking cannot be numbered.
     
  • Ecclesiastes 3:9
    What profit has the worker from that in which he labors?
     
  • Ecclesiastes 3:22
    So I perceived that nothing is better than that a man should rejoice in his own works, for that is his heritage. For who can bring him to see what will happen after him?
     
  • Ecclesiastes 4:2-4
    Therefore I praised the dead who were already dead,
    More than the living who are still alive.
    Yet, better than both is he who has never existed,
    Who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun. Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

     
  • Ecclesiastes 4:7
    Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun:

     
  • Ecclesiastes 1:18
    For in much wisdom is much grief,
    And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
     
  • Ecclesiastes 2:22-23
    For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart with which he has toiled under the sun? For all his days are sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.
     
  • Ecclesiastes 4:15-16
    I saw all the living who walk under the sun;
    They were with the second youth who stands in his place.
    There was no end of all the people over whom he was made king;
    Yet those who come afterward will not rejoice in him.
    Surely this also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

     
  • Ecclesiastes 5:2
    Do not be rash with your mouth,
    And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God.
    For God is in heaven, and you on earth;
    Therefore let your words be few.

  • Genesis 3:17-19
    Then to Adam He said, "Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, "You shall not eat of it":
    "Cursed is the ground for your sake;
    In toil you shall eat of it
    All the days of your life.

    Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you,
    And you shall eat the herb of the field.

    In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread
    Till you return to the ground,
    For out of it you were taken;
    For dust you are,
    And to dust you shall return."
