Eccles. 6:3–6 Long life and many children are among earth’s greatest blessings, but a discontented heart will be unsatisfied even with these.
Eccles. 6:10–11 To “name” something is to exercise authority over it. God is the one who has named all things, and therefore he rules over all. It is foolish for mere mortals to dispute God’s sovereign ordering of the world. To do so only produces more words and more vanity.
Eccles. 6:12 For who knows what is good for man? Even the wisest humans cannot give absolutely correct advice based on a certain knowledge of what will be.
