Word of GOD: WISDOM.
“THERE is an evil which I
have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:
A man to whom God hath given
riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that
he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth
it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
For who knoweth what is good
for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a
shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?” (Ecclesiastes
6:1-2, 12).
“For there is a man whose
labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity; yet to a man that hath
not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and
a great evil.
For what hath man of all his
labour, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under the
sun?
For all his days are
sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night.
This is also vanity.
There
is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he
should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was
from the hand of God” (Ecclesiastes 2:21-24).
