ECC 1:3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

ECC 2:10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not

my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my

portion of all my labour.

ECC 2:11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the

labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of

spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

ECC 2:17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun

is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

ECC 2:18 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I

should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

ECC 2:19 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he

have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed

myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.

ECC 2:20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour

which I took under the sun.

ECC 2:21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in

equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his

portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

ECC 2:22 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart,

wherein he hath laboured under the sun?

needeth.

work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

1TH 4:12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye

may have lack of nothing.

2TH 3:10 For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any

would not work, neither should he eat.

2TH 3:11 For we hear that there are some which walk among you disorderly,

working not at all, but are busybodies.

that with quietness they work, and eat their own bread.
