b'As we continue our chronological reading of the Old Testament, we\\u2019re spending some time in the book of Ecclesiastes which was written by King Solomon. With all of his wealth, fame and wisdom, Solomon discerned that these things could not ultimately extend one\\u2019s life or even necessarily make it better. No matter what a person may accomplish, one day he will die. In today\\u2019s reading Solomon considers the rhythms of life, the nature of death and eternity, justice and injustice, authentic religion, and wealth. Our reading concludes with wise sayings in chapter 7, including proverbs, meditations on moderation, and the limitations of wisdom.'
