Mwamba World Outreach School Of Ministry/ Studies I The Book Of Ecclesiates IV

ECCLESIATES 6:1-12    V. 1.  There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men: [ Vanity, No Power To Enjoy The Many Blessings Of Life ]

Vs.  2.  A man to whom god has 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 eateh it : this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

[ Vanity:  Raise a Large Family and then die a Pauper ]

Vs. 3.  If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say that an untimely  birth is better than he.

Vs.  4.  For he cometh in with Vanity, and departeh in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.

Vs.  5.  Moreover he has not seen the sun, nor known anything;  this hath more rest than the other.

ECCLESIATES 7: 1-18

Vs. 1.  A Good name is better than Precious ointment;  the day of death than the day of one's birth.

Vs.  9.  Be not hasty in nthy spirit to be angry: for anger reteth in the bosom of fools.

Vs.  12.  Wisdom is a defence, and money is a defence: but the excellency of knowledgeis, that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.
