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
Ecclesiastes is a book in the Old Testament attributed to King Solomon, who was renowned for his wisdom and wealth in ancient Israel. It explores the vanity and fleeting nature of human endeavors, including the pursuit of riches, in a world where life often feels unpredictable and unfulfilling. In this verse, the author reflects on how wealth, though a potential blessing from God, becomes meaningless if one cannot personally enjoy it, a theme resonant in ancient Near Eastern cultures where inheritance and daily pleasures were highly valued.
