Ecclesiastes is one of the most interesting Bible writers, but why didn't you add the beginning of that chapter?
The words of the Teacher, Son of David, king in Jerusalem
!Meaningless! Meaningless!!
says the Teacher.
"Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless!"
What do people gain from all their labors, at which they toil and under the Sun?
Indeed, what we truly gain from all of this?
