Ecclesiastes 1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.

Ecclesiastes 2:4  I made me great works; I built me houses; I planted me vineyards;

2:5  I made me gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit;

2:6  I made me pools of water, to water therefrom the forest where trees were reared;

2:7  I bought men-servants and maid-servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that were before me in Jerusalem;

2:8  I gathered me also silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I got me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the sons of men, musical instruments, and that of all sorts.

Ecclesiastes 2:17 So I hated life, because the work that is wrought under the sun was grievous to me; for all is vanity and a striving after wind.

Ecclesiastes 3:9  What profit has he that works in that wherein he labors?

3:10 I have seen the travail which God has given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

Ecclesiastes 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in its time: also He has set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God has done from the beginning even to the end.

Ecclesiastes 3:17 I said in my heart, “God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.”

Ecclesiastes 3:22 Wherefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him back to see what shall be after him?

Ecclesiastes 4:3 yes, better than them both did I esteem him that has not yet been, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 4:4  Then I saw all labor and every skillful work, that a man does who is envious of his neighbor.  This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

Ecclesiastes 5:6 Do not let your mouth to cause your flesh to sin; neither say you before the angel, that is was an error: wherefore should God be angry at your voice, and destroy the work of your hands?

Ecclesiastes 7:13 Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which He has made crooked?

Ecclesiastes 8:9  All this have I seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man has power over another to his hurt.

Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

Ecclesiastes 8:14 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth, that there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.

Ecclesiastes 8:17 then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however much a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yes moreover, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

Ecclesiastes 9:1  For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it be love or hatred, man does not know it; all is before them.

Ecclesiastes 9:7  Go your way, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has already accepted your works.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you go.

Ecclesiastes 11:5  As you do not know what is the way of the wind, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child; even so you do not know the work of God who does all.

Ecclesiastes 12:14 For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
