Words of wisdom from the wisest king who ever lived; Solomon lays out the sad state of life on this earth, how all things come to nothing in the end and mean nothing, except for the love and worship of God.
Exceptionally great wisdom, from a man who truly understood life and tried it all out. Solomon is the very likely writer, and he lays out very explicitly and relentlessly how every single part of life and all activities are in the end meaningless, empty, and pointless. How every endeavor, every achievement, every joy is only fleeting and in the end hollow. Ending it all, the author shows how only loving, worshiping, and pleasing God matters and has real consequence.
