Verse 4 is found in chapter 2 of Ecclesiastes. Qohelet experiments with pleasure, great works, wealth, possessions, and achievements to determine whether any of them provide lasting gain. The list includes gardens, houses, servants, livestock, silver, gold, and entertainment. However, when he considers everything he has accomplished, he concludes that none of it provides a definitive advantage over death. The passage does not claim that every activity is absolutely useless, but that no human possession can become the ultimate foundation of meaning.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
