Ecclesiastes 2:10-11

Ecclesiastes is a book in The Old Testament. The word ecclesiastes is a Greek word which in English becomes "teacher" or "preacher." The author may have been Solomon or some other king reflecting philosophically on his experiences in life. He had been a student of wisdom, he had sought pleasure, he had undertaken vast building projects, he had become very wealthy. but after considering the value of these experiences he concluded, "all is vanity"" (1:2)

Ecclesiastes 2:10-11

These two verses talk about the act of lust and how achieving everything you desire is not good and a life lived like this will only end in vanity and the vexation of your spirit.

"You can give your eyes everything it looks at but they'll be no profit. Just vanity and vexation of spirit. Give to your eyes and you'll probably sin. Saw, look drawn away, sin, death. Saw, then desired, then took, then sin, then death. Before she saw, you're drawn away."
