Robert Short, in his book about Ecclesiastes, A Time to Be Born, A Time to Die, writes: “The author of the book of Job was a consummate dramatist. The psalmist was a lyrical poet. The author of Jonah knew how to tell a fascinating short story…. Ecclesiastes was also no mean poet, but fundamentally he was an artist of another sort: He was a photographer.” A photographer works with the light available. Though Solomon works “under the sun”, in dim light, he captures amazingly accurate pictures of our world.
Scripture: Ecclesiastes 12:9- 14
