Ecclesiastes 11-12
Here now is my final conclusion: Fear God and obey his commands, for this is everyone’s duty. God will judge us for everything we do, including every secret thing, whether good or bad.
After living a profligate, hedonistic life, Solomon comes to the conclusion that everything is vanity and that we must simply fear and obey God. Too bad he failed to do the same and teach his children likewise, for it was during their reign that Israel first split. Is a lesson learned too late actually learned?
