This is how I feel today

Ecclesiastes 2:1-11

Pleasures Are Meaningless

¹I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.

 ²I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?

 ³I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life.

 ⁴I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:

 ⁵I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of fruits:

 ⁶I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth trees:

 ⁷I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:

 ⁸I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.

 ⁹So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

 ¹⁰And 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.

 ¹¹Then 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.

Ecclesiastes 4:1-3

Oppression, Toil, Friendlessness

¹So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

 ²Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.

 ³Yea, better is he than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

I hope you all had the best Sabbath!
