  • Ecclesiastes 1:2-4
    "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?
    One generation passes away, and another generation comes;
    But the earth abides forever.

     
  • 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.
     
  • 1 John 2:15-17
    Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
     
  • 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 1:17-18
    And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind.
    For in much wisdom is much grief,
    And he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
     
  • Romans 8:20
    For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;
     
  • Proverbs 16:25
    There is a way that seems right to a man,
    But its end is the way of death.

     
  • Isaiah 55:2
    Why do you spend money for what is not bread,
    And your wages for what does not satisfy?
    Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
    And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
