Ecclesiastes 4:7
Then I came back, and I saw an example of what is to no purpose under the sun.

Better is a little with the fear of the Lord, than great wealth together with trouble.

1 Timothy 6:6
But true faith, with peace of mind, is of great profit:

So their days were wasted like a breath, and their years in trouble.

Proverbs 16:16
How much better it is to get wisdom than gold! and to get knowledge is more to be desired than silver.

Ecclesiastes 5:10
He who has a love for silver never has enough silver, or he who has love for wealth, enough profit. This again is to no purpose.

Ecclesiastes 5:11
When goods are increased, the number of those who take of them is increased; and what profit has the owner but to see them?

Ecclesiastes 5:12
The sleep of a working man is sweet, if he has little food or much; but to him who is full, sleep will not come.

Ecclesiastes 5:14
And I saw the destruction of his wealth by an evil chance; and when he became the father of a son he had nothing in his hand.

Ecclesiastes 5:15
As he came from his mother at birth, so does he go again; he gets from his work no reward which he may take away in his hand.

Ecclesiastes 5:16
And this again is a great evil, that in all points as he came so will he go; and what profit has he in working for the wind?

Ecclesiastes 6:1
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is hard on men;

Ecclesiastes 10:5
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, like an error which comes by chance from a ruler:

-----

Ecclesiastes 3:10
I saw the work which God has put on the sons of man.

Ecclesiastes 7:25
I gave my mind to knowledge and to searching for wisdom and the reason of things, and to the discovery that sin is foolish, and that to be foolish is to be without one's senses.

Ecclesiastes 8:9
All this have I seen, and have given my heart to all the work which is done under the sun: there is a time when man has power over man for his destruction.

Ecclesiastes 8:16
When I gave my mind to the knowledge of wisdom and to seeing the business which is done on the earth (and there are those whose eyes see not sleep by day or by night),

Ecclesiastes 8:17
Then I saw all the work of God, and that man may not get knowledge of the work which is done under the sun; because, if a man gives hard work to the search he will not get knowledge, and even if the wise man seems to be coming to the end of his search, still he will be without knowledge.

Ecclesiastes 9:11
And again I saw under the sun that the reward goes not to him who is quick, or the fruits of war to the strong; and there is no bread for the wise, or wealth for men of learning, or respect for those who have knowledge; but time and chance come to all.

Ecclesiastes 4:3
Yes, happier than the dead or the living seemed he who has not ever been, who has not seen the evil which is done under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 5:18
This is what I have seen: it is good and fair for a man to take meat and drink and to have joy in all his work under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; that is his reward.

Ecclesiastes 7:11
Wisdom together with a heritage is good, and a profit to those who see the sun.

Ecclesiastes 8:15
So I gave praise to joy, because there is nothing better for a man to do under the sun than to take meat and drink and be happy; for that will be with him in his work all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 9:6
Their love and their hate and their envy are now ended; and they have no longer a part for ever in anything which is done under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 9:13
This again I have seen under the sun as wisdom and it seemed great to me.

Zechariah 1:6
But my words and my orders, which I gave to my servants the prophets, have they not overtaken your fathers? and turning back they said, As it was the purpose of the Lord of armies to do to us, in reward for our ways and our doings, so has he done.

-----

Matthew 6:25
So I say to you, Take no thought for your life, about food or drink, or about clothing for your body. Is not life more than food, and the body more than its clothing?

Matthew 6:26
See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?

Truly, every man goes on his way like an image; he is troubled for no purpose: he makes a great store of wealth, and has no knowledge of who will get it.

Ecclesiastes 2:11
Then I saw all the works which my hands had made, and everything I had been working to do; and I saw that all was to no purpose and desire for wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 2:17
So I was hating life, because everything under the sun was evil to me: all is to no purpose and desire for wind.

Ecclesiastes 2:19
And who is to say if that man will be wise or foolish? But he will have power over all my work which I have done and in which I have been wise under the sun. This again is to no purpose.

Ecclesiastes 2:21
Because there is a man whose work has been done with wisdom, with knowledge, and with an expert hand; but one who has done nothing for it will have it for his heritage. This again is to no purpose and a great evil.

Ecclesiastes 6:11
There are words without number for increasing what is to no purpose, but what is man profited by them?

All things are to no purpose, says the Preacher, all is to no purpose.
