Qoheleth Haiku 2:26


26For to the one who pleases him God
gives wisdom and knowledge and joy;
but to the sinner he gives the work of gathering and heaping,
only to give to one who pleases God.
This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

The one pleasing God
The one who aligns himself
With God’s grand design

Not a despot king
Requiring subservience
Is God Almighty

The sinner is one
Who does not align himself
With God’s grand design

Wisdom, knowledge, joy
Come to those aligned with God
Fulfills life’s purpose

Where is there justice
Where one works and one profits
God is a just God

Qoheleth confronts
 Contemporary wisdom
That God is partial

Injustice abounds
Output of the human mind
Not the mind of God
