Ecclesiastes 2:17

Therefore I hated life; because the work that is done under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity and like grasping the wind.
All Commentaries on Ecclesiastes 2:17 Go To Ecclesiastes 2

Ambrose of Milan

AD 397
Therefore incline to him of whom the psalmist says, “He has not taken his soul in vain.” To speak now of the troubles of this life, the person has taken his soul in vain who is constructing the things of the world and building the things of the body. We arise each day to eat and drink; yet no one is filled so that he does not hunger and thirst after a short time. Daily we seek profit, and to greed there is set no limit. “The eye will not be satisfied with seeing, nor the ear with hearing.” He that loves silver will not be satisfied with silver. There is no limit to toil, and there is no profit in abundance.
