# General Information

While a person may be given a great many things, they are worthless and provide no sense of satisfaction or peace. It is assumed that only Yahweh can provide these things to man. Solomon is depressed that he had everything he could have ever wanted in life, but they were not enough to give him satisfaction or peace. The ULB sets poetry (6:7-11) farther to the right than the rest of the text to show that it is poetry.
