Eccl. 2:18‑23• 18And I hated all my labour wherewith I had been toiling under the sun, because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.
 19And who knoweth whether he will be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labour at which I have laboured, and wherein I have been wise under the sun. This also is vanity.
 20Then I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour wherewith I had laboured under the sun.
 21For there is a man whose labour hath been with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skill, and who leaveth it to a man that hath not laboured therein, to be his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

• So with the dead among men: their hatred is no more to be feared, for it can harm nothing; their love is no more to be valued, for it can profit nothing; their zeal and energy are no more to be accounted of, for they can effect nothing; yea, all has come to an end forever under the sun. Oh, the awfulness of this darkness! (“Ecclesiastes 9” by F.C. Jennings)
• Let that cross be before us, and then say, “No man knoweth love or hatred by all that is before them.” Are not both revealed there as never before? Hatred! What caused the blessed God thus to change His attitude towards the One who so delighted Him that the heavens burst open, as it were, under the weight of that delight? There is but one answer to that question. Sin. Sin was there on that holiest Sufferer-mine, yours, my reader. And God’s great hatred of sin is fully revealed there. I know “hatred” when I see God looking at my sin on His infinitely holy, infinitely precious, infinitely beloved Son. (“Ecclesiastes 9” by F.C. Jennings)
