Would you quote the next sentence in your text?"The spirit returns to God who gave it" Eccl 12:7 -- heaven with God
8 “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher.
“Everything is meaningless!”
“Everything is meaningless!”
The Bible is true, but not everything in the Bible is true.
Much of the book of Ecclesiastes are "Meaningless" sayings.
It teaches the futility of human logic and reason. It calls them meaningless.
It does this for the purpose of illustration. It shows the "wise" sayings of the world and compares them to a greater wisdom and knowledge of God. It does this to teach what is wrong in the world, not what is right.
13 Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind.
14 For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil.
