“ Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
-
Ecclesiastes 4:8
There is a person without a companion, without even a son or brother, and though there is no end to all his struggles, his eyes are still not content with riches.“ Who am I struggling for,” he asks,“ and depriving myself of good things?” This too is futile and a miserable task.

Revelation 7:16-17
They will no longer hunger; they will no longer thirst; the sun will no longer strike them, nor will any scorching heat.For the Lamb who is at the center of the throne will shepherd them; he will guide them to springs of the waters of life, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Ecclesiastes 4:1-4
Again, I observed all the acts of oppression being done under the sun. Look at the tears of those who are oppressed; they have no one to comfort them. Power is with those who oppress them; they have no one to comfort them.So I commended the dead, who have already died, more than the living, who are still alive.But better than either of them is the one who has not yet existed, who has not seen the evil activity that is done under the sun.I saw that all labor and all skillful work is due to one person’s jealousy of another. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

Ecclesiastes 5:10-11
The one who loves silver is never satisfied with silver, and whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with income. This too is futile.When good things increase, the ones who consume them multiply; what, then, is the profit to the owner, except to gaze at them with his eyes?
-
Ecclesiastes 2:26
For to the person who is pleasing in his sight, he gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and accumulating in order to give to the one who is pleasing in God’s sight. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.

Romans 8:22-23

Ecclesiastes 2:11
When I considered all that I had accomplished and what I had labored to achieve, I found everything to be futile and a pursuit of the wind. There was nothing to be gained under the sun.
-
Ecclesiastes 7:24-26
What exists is beyond reach and very deep. Who can discover it?I turned my thoughts to know, explore, and examine wisdom and an explanation for things, and to know that wickedness is stupidity and folly is madness.And I find more bitter than death the woman who is a trap: her heart a net and her hands chains. The one who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner will be captured by her.

Proverbs 30:15-16
The leech has two daughters:“ Give, Give!” Three things are never satisfied; four never say,“ Enough!”:Sheol; a childless womb; earth, which is never satisfied with water; and fire, which never says,“ Enough!”
-
Psalms 63:5
You satisfy me as with rich food; my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.
