At the beach

There is one book in the Bible I really love, and that is the book called: ECCLESIASTES!

The book has only 12 chapters.

35 times I found the word “meaningless” in the book! There is only one chapter where you don’t find the word “meaningless.”

1. 

   “STOP DOING WRONG”

   “WASH AND MAKE YOURSELVES CLEAN.

2. TAKE YOUR EVIL DEEDS OUT OF MY SIGHT!
3. STOP DOING WRONG,
4. LEARN TO DO RIGHT!
5. SEEK JUSTICE,
6. ENCOURAGE THE OPPRESSED.
7. DEFEND THE CAUSE OF THE FATHERLESS,
8. PLEAD THE CASE OF THE WIDOW.”
