Ecclesiastes 6 is the sixth chapter of the Book of Ecclesiastes in the Hebrew Bible or the Old Testament of the Christian Bible.[1][2] The book contains philosophical speeches by a character called '(the) Qoheleth' ("the Teacher"), composed probably between the 5th and 2nd centuries BC.[3] Peshitta, Targum, and Talmud attribute the authorship of the book to King Solomon.[4] This chapter deals with wealth and insatiability.[5]
