Ecclesiastes 2:11
2:11 Yet when I reflected on everything I had accomplished
and on all the effort that I had expended to accomplish it,
I concluded: “All these achievements and possessions are ultimately profitless –
like chasing the wind!
There is nothing gained from them on earth.”
Ecclesiastes 2:26
2:26 For to the one who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy,
but to the sinner, he gives the task of amassing wealth –
only to give it to the one who pleases God.
This task of the wicked is futile – like chasing the wind!
Matthew 11:28
11:28 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Romans 8:22-23
8:22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers together until now.
8:23 Not only this, but we ourselves also, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit,
groan inwardly as we eagerly await our adoption,
the redemption of our bodies.
