The words
of the Preacher,
the son
of David,
king
in Jerusalem.
2
"Vanity
of vanities,"
says
the Preacher,
"Vanity
of vanities!
All
is vanity."
3
What
advantage
does man
have in all
his work
Which
he does
under
the sun?
4
A generation
goes
and a generation
comes,
But the earth
remains
forever.
5
Also, the sun
rises
and the sun
sets;
And hastening
to its place
it
rises
there
again.
6
Blowing
toward
the south,
Then turning
toward
the north,
The wind
continues
swirling
along;
And on its circular courses
the wind
returns.
7
All
the rivers
flow
into the sea,
Yet the sea
is not full.
To the place
where
the rivers
flow
,
There
they
flow
again.
8
All
things
are wearisome;
Man
is not able
to tell
it. The eye
is not satisfied
with seeing,
Nor
is the ear
filled
with hearing.
9
That which
has been
is that which
will be, And that which
has been
done
is that which
will be done.
So there is nothing
new
under
the sun.
10
Is there
anything
of which
one might say,
"See
this,
it is new
"? Already
it has existed
for ages
Which
were before
us.
11
There is no
remembrance
of earlier
things
;
And also
of the
later
things
which
will occur,
There will be for them no
remembrance
Among
those who
will come
later
still.
12
I, the Preacher,
have been
king
over
Israel
in Jerusalem.
13
And I set
my mind
to seek
and explore
by wisdom
concerning
all
that has been done
under
heaven.
It is a grievous
task
which God
has given
to the sons
of men
to be afflicted
with.
14
I have seen
all
the works
which
have been done
under
the sun,
and behold,
all
is vanity
and striving
after wind.
15
What is crooked
cannot
be straightened
and what is lacking
cannot
be counted.
16
I said
to myself,
"Behold,
I have magnified
and increased
wisdom
more
than
all
who
were over
Jerusalem
before
me; and my mind
has observed
a wealth
of
wisdom
and knowledge."
17
And I set
my mind
to know
wisdom
and
to know
madness
and folly;
I realized
that this
also
is striving
after wind.
18
Because
in much
wisdom
there is much
grief,
and increasing
knowledge
results in increasing
pain.
