In the case of Ecclesiastes, we find the words..."vanity of vanity." What does this mean? I like the Message translation..."boring." This is not the passage to read, if you are already depressed.
"Everything's boring, utterly boring— no one can find any meaning in it. Boring to the eye, boring to the ear. What was will be again, what happened will happen again. There's nothing new on this earth. Year after year it's the same old thing. Does someone call out, "Hey, this is new"? Don't get excited—it's the same old story. Nobody remembers what happened yesterday. And the things that will happen tomorrow? Nobody we'll remember them either. Don't count on being remembered."
