Overview on Ecclisiastes.

this book was written by King Solomon and tells us mainly to "fear god and keep his commandments" this book also tells us about a lot of things that are vanity.

Most often used phrases:

"Vanity of vanities" says the preacher "all is vanity."

Then I returned and saw/considered all that was___under the sun.

It is all grasping for the wind.

Random facts and Opinions:

In chapter four verse 9-11 Solomon writes "there is nothing new under the sun."

Solomon is of the opinion that it would be better if one did not live.

Ecclesiastes is a very hard book to understand because it skips around a lot.

Sum-up verse:

Fear God and keep his comandments for this is mans all.
for God will bring every work into judgement including
every secret thing whether good or evil.
(Ecclisiastes 12:13-14)
