Vanity

For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind. (Ecclesiastes 2:26 ESV)

What do workers gain from their toil? (Ecclesiastes 3:9 NIV)

Everywhere on earth I saw violence and injustice instead of fairness and justice. (Ecclesiastes 3:16 CEV)

There is something else meaningless that occurs on earth: the righteous who get what the wicked deserve, and the wicked who get what the righteous deserve. This too, I say, is meaningless. (Ecclesiastes 8:14 NIV)
