Part II begins here. Since man's toils are vain, what is the chief good? (Ecclesiastes 6:12). The answer is contained in the rest of the book.
That which hath been—man's various circumstances
is named already—not only has existed, Ecclesiastes 1:9; Ecclesiastes 3:15, but has received its just name, "vanity," long ago,

is man—Hebrew, "Adam," equivalent to man "of red dust," as his Creator appropriately named him from his frailty.
neither may he contend, etc.— (Romans 9:20).
