God’s Works Remain Forever
What does the worker gain from his toil? Ecc 1:3Ecc 5:16Pro 14:23Ecc 2:11Ecc 2:22-23Mat 16:26 I have seen the burden that God has laid upon the sons of men to occupy them. Ecc 1:13-14Gen 3:19Ecc 2:261Th 2:92Th 3:8 He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom the work that God has done from beginning to end. Rom 1:19-20Rom 11:33Job 11:7Ecc 8:17Job 5:9Mrk 7:37Psa 104:24Gen 1:31

From Dust to Dust
Furthermore, I saw under the sun that in the place of judgment there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is wickedness. Ecc 4:1Ecc 5:81Ki 21:9-21Act 23:3Psa 58:1-2Psa 82:2-5Psa 94:21-22Isa 59:14 I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked, since there is a time for every activity and every deed.” 2Co 5:10Ecc 12:14Ecc 3:1Mat 16:272Th 1:6-10Ecc 11:9Psa 98:9Rom 2:5-10
I said to myself, “As for the sons of men, God tests them so that they may see for themselves that they are but beasts.” Psa 73:22Psa 49:122Pe 2:12Gen 3:17-19Heb 9:271Pe 1:24Rom 9:23Job 14:1-4 For the fates of both men and beasts are the same: As one dies, so dies the other—they all have the same breath. 1 Man has no advantage over the animals, since everything is futile. Psa 49:12Psa 49:20Job 14:10-12Ecc 2:14Ecc 2:20-23Psa 39:5-6Psa 89:47-482Sa 14:14 All go to one place; all come from dust, and all return to dust.
