The Preacher comes back to his conclusion that life is hevel - but now gives some tangible ways to respond.

The Preacher has found great power in wisdom...and yet it still leaves him unsatsified. He has looked at the world and found a bitter truth - people are drawn to folly more than wisdom, but it is understandable because they often look so similar.

While we will never find satisfaction in money or honor, they do serve a purpose in our lives. How we steward them can lead us to contentment or vanity.

The Preacher shows us what true vanity is - it is choosing to continue talking when God has called us to listen and obey...to fear Him.

Unmet expectations lead us to becoming a lonely oppressor with no one to comfort us.

For everything there is a season - but we are not meant to figure out how the seasons work.
