Bible (ASV) 21: Ecclesiastes

The book of Ecclesiastes, also known as The Preacher, is the twenty-first book of the Bible. It is believed to be written by an unknown author, possibly Solomon, according to biblical scholars. This thought-provoking book explores the meaninglessness of human endeavors, emphasizing that everything we strive for ultimately proves futile. The author reminds us that in the end, we all return to dust and are forgotten by future generations. However, amidst this existential reflection, The Preacher offers a valuable lesson: to find joy and fulfillment in life, one should embrace their daily tasks, enjoy food and drink, and live with a deep devotion to God. This passage is taken from the American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible.
