WISDOM - ECCLESIASTES


I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens.
What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind!
Ecclesiastes 1:13
Ecclesiastes is attributed to Solomon under the inspiration of God and imparts more wisdom.  It describes life on earth from the viewpoint of a fallen man and the transient and unsatisfactory nature of things.  Solomon shares  his search for wisdom and knowledge but also his disappointment and folly.  In Chapters 7-10 there is a lot of wise counsel as Solomon looks at different aspects and the benefits of wisdom plus the consequences for the actions of mankind.
