What does the Bible say about the vanity of life?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible, particularly in Ecclesiastes 2:24-26, teaches that all worldly pleasures and labors are ultimately vanity and vexation of spirit.

In Ecclesiastes 2, Solomon reflects on his pursuits and experiences, concluding that despite his wisdom, riches, and pleasures, everything under the sun is vanity. He laments that human labor, success, and enjoyment without God lead to emptiness. This faith-based perspective emphasizes that the only lasting satisfaction comes through a relationship with God, as the physical pleasures of this world cannot fulfill the deeper needs of the soul.
