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