A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.
Un hombre a quien Dios le ha dado riquezas, bienes y honor, de modo que no le falta nada de lo que su corazón desea, pero Dios no le da la capacidad de disfrutar estas cosas, sino que un extraño las disfruta en su lugar: esto es vanidad, y es una terrible enfermedad.
De nada sirve tener riquezas y honor si Dios no nos da la capacidad de disfrutarlos.
📚 Contexto Histórico
Solomon, the traditional author of Ecclesiastes, was writing during a time of great prosperity in Israel when wealth and status were highly valued. He observed how some people accumulated great fortunes but were prevented by circumstances, illness, or death from enjoying their wealth. This reflects the ancient Near Eastern understanding that material blessings without the ability to enjoy them were a form of divine judgment or cosmic injustice.
