in its place,
extending toward the four winds of the sky.

Ecclesiastes 2:18-19
Futility of Being a Workaholic
2:18 So I loathed all the fruit of my effort,
for which I worked so hard on earth,
because I must leave it behind in the hands of my successor.
2:19 Who knows if he will be a wise man or a fool?
Yet he will be master over all the fruit of my labor
for which I worked so wisely on earth!
This also is futile!
Ecclesiastes 4:8
4:8 A man who is all alone with no companion,
he has no children nor siblings;
yet there is no end to all his toil,
and he is never satisfied with riches.
He laments, “For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?”
This also is futile and a burdensome task!
Matthew 12:25
12:25 Now when Jesus
realized what they were thinking, he said to them,
“Every kingdom divided against itself is destroyed,
and no town or house divided against itself will stand.
