Sheol and Abaddon are before Adonai— how much more the hearts of people!
When you cast your eyes 0n riches, it is gone; for it surely sprouts wings and flies off into the sky like an eagle.
All things are wearisome. No one can express them. The eye is never satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
There is one who has no one else, neither son nor brother, yet there is no end to all his toil. His eyes are not content with riches. “So, for whom am I toiling, and depriving myself of prosperity?” This too is meaningless— a grievous task!
All a man’s labor is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied.
Therefore Sheol has enlarged its gullet and opened its measureless mouth— down goes her glory, her tumult, her uproar, and the revelry in her.
“But your eyes and your heart are only on your unjust gain, and on shedding innocent blood, and committing extortion and fraud.”
Indeed, because this wine betrays, a proud man never rests. He enlarges his desire like Sheol, Like death, he is never satisfied. So he gathers to himself all nations, and collects all peoples for himself.
“You have looked for much, but indeed, there is little. What you have brought home, I have blown away. Why is this?”—it is a declaration of Adonai-Tzva’ot—“because My House lies in ruins, while you are running, each to his own house.
For everything in the world—the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the boasting of life—is not from the Father but from the world.
