Ecclesiastes 1:2-3

2 "Absolute futility," says the Teacher. "Absolute futility. Everything is futile."

3 What does a man gain for all his efforts he labors at under the sun?

Ecclesiastes 1:14

14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun and have found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.

Ecclesiastes 1:17

17 I applied my mind to know wisdom and knowledge, madness and folly; I learned that this too is a pursuit of the wind.
