Solomon, as nearly no other person in history, had the world at his feet.
He was the possessor of uncountable wealth and possessions (2:8), unsurpassed in education and knowledge (1:16), at the peak of worldly fame, popularity, and prominence (2:4-6), and unbridled in his ability and desire to pursue and find pleasure (2:3).
After a life of pursuit, he confesses with Christ that one may well gain the whole world and still lose his own soul (Matthew 16:26). Only in the Lord is there any hope for this life! We must meet that “One Shepherd” (12:11) who alone offers “abundant life” (John 10:9-10).
Remember, we are in the fourth of the five Books of Hebrew Wisdom Literature.
Each is a Divinely Inspired insight on a facet of life.
