Ecclesiastes 4:8
This is the case of a man who is all alone, without a child or a brother, yet who works hard to gain as much wealth as he can. But then he asks himself,“ Who am I working for? Why am I giving up so much pleasure now?” It is all so meaningless and depressing.

Revelation 7:16-17
They will never again be hungry or thirsty; they will never be scorched by the heat of the sun.For the Lamb on the throne will be their Shepherd. He will lead them to springs of life giving water. And God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”

Ecclesiastes 4:1-4
Again, I observed all the oppression that takes place under the sun. I saw the tears of the oppressed, with no one to comfort them. The oppressors have great power, and their victims are helpless.So I concluded that the dead are better off than the living.But most fortunate of all are those who are not yet born. For they have not seen all the evil that is done under the sun.Then I observed that most people are motivated to success because they envy their neighbors. But this, too, is meaningless— like chasing the wind.

Ecclesiastes 5:10-11

Ecclesiastes 2:26

Romans 8:22-23
For we know that all creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time.And we believers also groan, even though we have the Holy Spirit within us as a foretaste of future glory, for we long for our bodies to be released from sin and suffering. We, too, wait with eager hope for the day when God will give us our full rights as his adopted children, including the new bodies he has promised us.
-
Ecclesiastes 2:11
But as I looked at everything I had worked so hard to accomplish, it was all so meaningless— like chasing the wind. There was nothing really worthwhile anywhere.
-
Ecclesiastes 7:24-26
Wisdom is always distant and difficult to find.I searched everywhere, determined to find wisdom and to understand the reason for things. I was determined to prove to myself that wickedness is stupid and that foolishness is madness.I discovered that a seductive woman is a trap more bitter than death. Her passion is a snare, and her soft hands are chains. Those who are pleasing to God will escape her, but sinners will be caught in her snare.
-
Proverbs 30:15-16
The leech has two suckers that cry out,“ More, more!” There are three things that are never satisfied— no, four that never say,“ Enough!”:the grave, the barren womb, the thirsty desert, the blazing fire.

Psalms 63:5
You satisfy me more than the richest feast. I will praise you with songs of joy.
