Ecclesiastes 1:2-3

"Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?

From Background Notes [BN] for January 19^th & 20^th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

The Hebrew word for “meaningless” is habēl, a term suggesting “emptiness, vanity, uselessness” — equivalent to the stereotypic soap bubble: “Soap bubbles, soap bubbles, everything is soap bubbles.”

For a brief moment, things are with us and then just as quickly gone. A detailed summary of Solomon’s vast achievements in Ecclesiastes 2:4-11 concludes with the same assessment: “Everything is meaningless, a chasing after the wind, nothing was gained under the sun” (2:11).  [BN, 2]
