Ecclesiastes 1:13

all that has been accomplished on earth.

I concluded: God has given people a burdensome task

that keeps them occupied.

Ecclesiastes 7:25

True Righteousness and Wisdom are Virtually Nonexistent

the role of wisdom in the scheme of things,

and to understand the stupidity of wickedness and the insanity of folly.
