  • Ecclesiastes 1:2-9
    "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.
    The sun also rises, and the sun goes down,
    And hastens to the place where it arose.
    The wind goes toward the south,
    And turns around to the north;
    The wind whirls about continually,
    And comes again on its circuit.
    All the rivers run into the sea,
    Yet the sea is not full;
    To the place from which the rivers come,
    There they return again.
    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.

     
  • Romans 8:18
    For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
     
  • Ecclesiastes 4:1-7
    Then I returned and considered all the oppression that is done under the sun:
    And look! The tears of the oppressed,
    But they have no comforter—
    On the side of their oppressors there is power,
    But they have no comforter.
    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.
    The fool folds his hands
    And consumes his own flesh.
    Better a handful with quietness
    Than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind. Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun:

     
  • Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
    Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter:
    Fear God and keep His commandments,
    For this is man's all.
    For God will bring every work into judgment,
    Including every secret thing,
    Whether good or evil.
     
  • Romans 8:20
    For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;
     
  • 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.
