A Plea to God
Are we just a twisted thing that cannot be made straight (Eccles. 1:15)? We grow in wisdom, yet folly remains (Eccles. 1:17); fools walk in darkness as wisdom grows (Eccles. 2:14), but the wise are forgotten (Eccles. 2:16). We despair all the gains we have made (Eccles. 2:20), but they, too, will be forgotten as the wicked are rewarded. Are we just a twisted thing that cannot be made straight (Eccles. 1:15)?
