Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What increases with knowledge according to Ecclesiastes 1:18 (KJV)?

Answer: sorrow

Ecclesiastes 1:18 "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow."

If we look back to Genesis when Adam and Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge they immediately knew sorrow, and they also had gained knowledge of good and evil.
2. What does 2:14 (KJV) say a fool walks in?

Answer: darkness

Ecclesiastes 2:14 "The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all."

The word "fool" appears in the Ecclesiastes in at least twenty different verses.
3. Verse 3:4 (KJV) says: "A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to _________ and a time to ___________."

Answer: mourn dance

Ecclesiastes 3:4 "A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance."

The Byrds had a hit with a song based on this and other verses in Chapter 3. It was called "Turn! Turn! Turn!".
4. According to 5:15 when we die can we take our money with us?

Answer: No

Ecclesiastes 5:15 "As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in his hand."
5. According to Solomon, how many men are perfect?

Answer: 0

Ecclesiastes 7:20 "For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not."

For those of you who thought it should be 1 (and that 1 being Jesus) remember it said "According to Solomon" and Solomon being in the Old Testament would not have included Jesus in that count.
6. If one keeps the commandment what won't they have to feel according to 8:5?

Answer: evil

Ecclesiastes 8:5 "Whoso keepeth the commandment shall feel no evil thing: and a wise man's heart discerneth both time and judgment."

Unfortunately we are all sinners so none of us has kept the commandment perfectly without flaw.
7. What is better than a dead lion?

Answer: a living dog

Ecclesiastes 9:4 "For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is better than a dead lion."

This is a good verse for why people should not commit suicide. If you are alive there is hope, but if you end your life, you end all hope.
8. What shall bite the person who breaks the hedge in verse 10:8 (KJV)?

Answer: serpent

Ecclesiastes 10:8 "He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him."

A serpent has always been used in the Bible to represent evil. Again, if we recall back to Genesis, the Devil appears as a serpent to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden.
9. What is the duty of man according to verse 12:13 (KJV)?

Answer: Fear God and keep His commandments

Ecclesiastes 12:13 "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."

Some people think this verse implies God is not nice, however, the word respect comes from the same word as fear in Latin. Vereor: to respect, fear, be in dread of, to be afraid. (taken from http://www.math.ubc.ca/~cass/frivs/latin/latin-dict-full.html#V).
10. What is the last word of Ecclesiastes in the King James Version?

Answer: evil

Ecclesiastes 12:14 "For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil."

Thank you for taking my quiz. The next quiz will be based on Song of Solomon (also known as Song of Songs).
