Sermons on Ecclesiastes 2

The Teacher tests pleasure, laughter, wine, great works, houses, vineyards, gardens, wealth, singers, and many possessions, becoming greater than all before him in Jerusalem. Yet he finds everything “vanity” and a striving after wind. He then compares wisdom with folly: wisdom is better, yet both wise and fool die and are forgotten. This makes his labor hateful, since its fruits pass to another. Still, he says eating, drinking, and finding enjoyment in work are from the hand of God, who gives wisdom and joy to the one who pleases him. Themes include the limits of earthly achievement and God as the giver of enjoyment.
