Truths That Solomon Stated - 5

13. Better is a Poor and wise child that will take correction than an old and foolish King that will not be Admonished.

Ecclesiastes 4:13

Better a poor and wise youth
 Than an old and foolish king who will be admonished no more.
14. The profit from the earth is for all men

Ecclesiastes 5:9

Moreover the profit of the land is for all; even the king is served from the field.

15. Riches are only temporary

 Ecclesiastes 5:12-15

The sleep of a laboring man is sweet,
 Whether he eats little or much;
 But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep.
  There is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun:
 Riches kept for their owner to his hurt.
  But those riches perish through misfortune;
 When he begets a son, there is nothing in his hand.
  As he came from his mother's womb, naked shall he return,
 To go as he came;
 And he shall take nothing from his labor
 Which he may carry away in his hand.

16. A good name is better than precious ointments

Ecclesiastes 7:1

A good name is better than precious ointment,
   And the day of death than the day of one's birth;
17. Dead bodies know nothing

Ecclesiastes 9:5

For the living know that they will die;
 But the dead know nothing,
 And they have no more reward,
 For the memory of them is forgotten.
18. There is no human activity, such as work, in Hell

Ecclesiastes 9:10

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.
