Again, I considered all travail,

This is also vanity and vexation of spirit. – Ecc 4:4

I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read “The Holy Bible” KJV,  the following verses were given in the context of “all is vanity”.

Ecc 1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher,
vanity of vanities;
all is vanity.

Ecc 1:14 I have seen all the works
that are done under the sun;
and, behold, all is vanity
and vexation of spirit.

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 3:19 For that which befalleth
the sons of men befalleth beasts;
even one thing befalleth them:
as the one dieth,
so dieth the other;
yea, they have all one breath;
so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast:
for all is vanity.

Ecc 4:4 Again, I considered all travail,
and every right work,
that for this a man is envied of his neighbour.
This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

Ecc 4:8 There is one alone,
and there is not a second;
yea, he hath neither child nor brother:
yet is there no end of all his labour;
neither is his eye satisfied with riches;
neither saith he, For whom do I labour,
and bereave my soul of good?
This is also vanity,
yea, it is a sore travail.

Ecc 6:2 A man to whom God hath given riches,
wealth, and honour,
so that he wanteth nothing
for his soul of all that he desireth,
yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof,
but a stranger eateth it:
this is vanity,
and it is an evil disease.

Ecc 11:8 But if a man live many years,
and rejoice in them all;
yet let him remember the days of darkness;
for they shall be many.
All that cometh is vanity.

Ecc 12:8 Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher;
all is vanity.

About David Mathi Raj Samuel
I was engaged in the computer field since 1977, particularly in Documentation, Desktop Publishing & Training field since 1986. The design work provided me creative satisfaction and motivated me to look for more challenging activities. I was having a taste for Technical Writing. Presently, My SME (Subject-Matter Expert) is "The Holy Bible (KJV)" and publishing the "Subject" from the Holy Bible only. I am 69 years old now and in HIS mercy. 2022, I was admitted in the hospital due to nervous attack and bed-ridden. In the Hospital they did all the tests and gave up and said it can't be cured. Due to circumstances I was in a Home for Elders in Gurugram, India for 18 months with a 24X7 attendent. I prayed to God YeHoVaH to give me death or life to live to HIS glory. My prayers were heard, I was given life. I came out walking from the Home and witnessing the work of God every day. I am able to move alone now, Weakness and the pain in the body remains. From June 2024 onwards I returned to my routine and reading Holy Bible, Preparing daily Bible understanding , as I did earlier but with two fingers in Android and Notebook. Watering the plants, making kitchen compost, repotting the plants with fertilizer, manures, cow dung; bathing and dressing myself but buttoning is not possible. Pray for everyone that lives in my physical condition to be strengthened. YeHoVaH be pleased.
