The second half of Ecclesiastes develops the various observations of the first half of the book by shifting to analyze the various mysteries of life that we all experience. He challenges the dictates of cultural wisdom, such as the retribution doctrine, and concludes that though life is mysterious, everything is in the hand of God, whom we should trust and fear.

Ecclesiastes opens with the author's most famous, and often repeated, thesis: "Vanity of vanities! All is vanity!" What's more, the book argues that there is nothing to be gained for all man's toil under the sun. Lesson 1 examines the author's many examinations and demonstrations to prove his point, especially in the context of the fall of humanity in Genesis 3.

Proverbs centers around one of the Bible's super key themes—"The Two Ways"—in an extremely unique manner. The Way of Righteousness is personified by Lady Wisdom, and the Way of Unrighteousness is personified by Lady Folly. We are called to make a choice between these two women; the former brings joy and happiness in the Fear of the Lord, the latter brings misery and death. Let us embrace Lady Wisdom!
