Qoheleth Haiku 2:24-25

²⁴There is nothing better for mortals than to eat and drink,

and find enjoyment in their toil.

This also, I saw, is from the hand of God;

²⁵for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment?

Understand the tone

And the writer’s perspective

To interpret him

Come through the back door

Looking at something backward

To lay hold of truth

After concluding

All of one’s toil is futile

It’s the best there is

The world’s perspective

Pleasure the purpose of life

Leaves life meaningless

This is God’s design

That we find pleasure in toil

Not for pleasure’s sake

Purpose lies in God

Living life by his design

There life has meaning

Monotheism

Ultimate reality

All things are of God
