Bible Question: Please explane the meaning of ecclesiastes chapter 2 |
Bible Answer: Qohelet alludes in Chapter 2 to the creations of Solomon. In the first chapter is the poem on toil with its observations of God's creation. For the wise observer who does not sleep well and can not stop his observing while he is awake there is no Sabbath except disability and death. Since the result of ones work seems pointless because it has to be left to someone who may be unworthy and unappreciative then Qohelet surmises that enjoyment of your work itself and enjoying what you can of the fruits of your labor should be done while you can. |
