Ecclesiastes 1
The
words
of
the
a
Preacher,
the
son
of
David,
king
in
Jerusalem.
2
a
Vanity
of
vanities,
saith
the
Preacher,
vanity
of
vanities;
all
is
b
vanity.
3 What
a
profit
hath
a
man
of
all
his
labour
which
he
taketh
under
the
sun?
4 One
generation
passeth
away,
and
another
generation
cometh:
but
the
a
earth
abideth
for
ever.
5 The
sun
also
ariseth,
and
the
sun
goeth
down,
and
hasteth
to
his
place
where
he
arose.
6 The
wind
goeth
toward
the
south,
and
turneth
about
unto
the
north;
it
whirleth
about
continually,
and
the
wind
returneth
again
according
to
a
his
circuits.
7 All
the
rivers
run
into
the
sea;
yet
the
sea
is
not
full;
unto
the
place
from
whence
the
rivers
come,
thither
they
return
again.
8 All
things
are
full
of
labour;
man
cannot
utter
it:
the
eye
is
not
a
satisfied
with
seeing,
nor
the
ear
filled
with
hearing.
9 The
thing
that
hath
been,
it
is
that
which
shall
be;
and
that
which
is
done
is
that
which
shall
be
done:
and
there
is
no
a
new
thing
under
the
sun.
10 Is
there
any
thing
whereof
it
may
be
said,
See,
this
is
new?
it
hath
been
already
of
old
time,
which
was
before
us.
11 There
is
no
a
remembrance
of
former
things;
neither
shall
there
be
any
remembrance
of
things
that
are
to
come
with
those
that
shall
come
after.
12 I
the
Preacher
was
king
over
Israel
in
Jerusalem.
13 And
I
gave
my
heart
to
seek
and
search
out
by
a
wisdom
concerning
all
things
that
are
done
under
heaven:
this
b
sore
travail
hath
God
given
to
the
sons
of
man
to
be
exercised
therewith.
14 I
have
seen
all
the
works
that
are
done
under
the
sun;
and,
behold,
all
is
a
vanity
and
b
vexation
of
spirit.
15 That
which
is
a
crooked
cannot
be
made
straight:
and
that
which
is
wanting
cannot
be
numbered.
16 I
communed
with
mine
own
heart,
saying,
Lo,
a
I
am
come
to
great
estate,
and
have
gotten
more
wisdom
than
all
they
that
have
been
before
me
in
Jerusalem:
yea,
my
heart
had
great
experience
of
wisdom
and
knowledge.
17 And
I
gave
my
a
heart
to
know
wisdom,
and
to
know
madness
and
folly:
I
perceived
that
this
also
is
vexation
of
spirit.
18 For
in
much
wisdom
is
much
grief:
and
he
that
increaseth
a
knowledge
increaseth
b
sorrow.
