all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Ecclesiastes 1:14
The writer of Ecclesiastes uses the word “meaningless” 35 times (NIV). He pronounces so much of our lives as meaningless – seeking after pleasure, work, being wise, education, wealth, prestige, and more. He never said that they didn’t have value or that they were wrong; he said they were meaningless.
After righting 12 chapters about meaninglessness, Solomon ends with:
.... here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments . . . .
