## In Jewish tradition

Interpretation: Ecclesiastes uses it to show that life under the sun is wearying. Tradition reads the book as asking what lasting value there is beyond such toil. In the primary lessons: the tiredness that creeps into a body after long work, long walking or long worry

### Examples

- All things toil to weariness; man cannot utter it, the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. (Writings ECC.1.8, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/W/weariness/#x1)
- And furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. (Writings ECC.12.12, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/W/weariness/#x2)
