V.1-5 How foolish to try to get much of this world’s money, goods and fame, only to find that they do not bring lasting happiness.
V.6 Even though that person lived 2,000 years, he would see nothing worthwhile.
V.7-12 Many questions but no answers! Only God’s truth can give the right answers. Are we looking for His answers in His Word each day? We find them in the New Testament.
We might summarize the first six chapters as showing the vanity or emptiness of all things on the earth; the last six chapters as showing that true wisdom is the only worthwhile path through this world. But it doesn’t tell how to get it.
