V.1-6 Further thoughts: share what you have, things take their natural course as ordered by God, man cannot control the outcome of his acts. These observations lead Solomon to the next verses.
V.7-10 Serious conclusion at the end of verse 9. The word “youth” in verse 10 means “the prime of life.” What a word this should be to each one of us! What is considered the best time of life, is vanity, emptiness, meaningless. Are you glad you have Christ as your Savior? He gives meaning to life.
