Ecclesiastes 2 is the second 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 Qoheleth ("the Teacher"; Koheleth or Kohelet), composed probably between the 5th and 2nd centuries BCE.[3] Peshitta, Targum, and Talmud attribute the authorship of the book to King Solomon.[4]
The chapter continues the presentation of memoir in verses 12-18 of the previous chapter, with more observations on human efforts in life, related to the question in Ecclesiastes 1:3, What profit has a man from all his labor, in which he toils under the sun?, and on the sufferings and the enjoyment of life in light of a divine dispensation.[5]
