Verses that Strike Me in Ecclesiastes

Day 143: Ecclesiastes 5-8

Ecclesiastes 7:1: "A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth."

Ecclesiastes 7:27-28:
"Look," says the Teacher, "this is what I have discovered:
"Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things—
while I was still searching
but not finding—
I found one [upright] man among a thousand,
but not one [upright] woman among them all.

Ecclesiastes 8:17b: "No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. People toil to search it out, but no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it."

These are a few verses that stood out to me in the reading for today.
