Chasing the Wind (Ecclesiastes 1:12–18)
As Solomon answers the question, “What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun?” (1:3), he presents a litany of considerations to highlight the futility of life “under the sun.” We previously considered three of his arguments: the inevitability of death (vv. 4–8); the impossibility of satisfaction (v. 8); and the instability of novelty (vv. 9–11). In this study, we will consider two more: the insufficiency of education (vv. 12–15) and the illusion of enjoyment (vv. 16–18).
