All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 7 is found in chapter 6 of Ecclesiastes. All human labor seems directed toward satisfying appetite, yet appetite is never completely satisfied. Qohelet again asks what advantage the wise person has over the fool if both remain limited by the same conditions of life. The comparison with a shadow reinforces human transience. People know little about what will happen after death and therefore cannot control the ultimate meaning of their efforts.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
