The Bible, King James version, Book 21: Ecclesiastes

by Anonymous

"The Bible, King James version, Book 21: Ecclesiastes" by Anonymous is a book of the Hebrew Bible's Wisdom literature. An unnamed author presents the words of Kohelet, who proclaims "Vanity of vanities! All is futile!" The text grapples with life's fundamental question: what profit comes from human toil when both wise and foolish end in death? Kohelet explores this perceived meaninglessness while suggesting people find joy in simple daily pleasures—eating, drinking, and work—as gifts from God.
