ECC-1:1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in
Jerusalem.
ECC-1:2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of
vanities; all [is] vanity.
ECC-1:3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh
under the sun?
ECC-1:4 [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation
cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
ECC-1:5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and
hasteth to his place where he arose.
ECC-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.
ECC-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.
ECC-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.
ECC-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.
ECC-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.
ECC-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.
ECC-1:12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
ECC-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.
ECC-1:14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun;
and, behold, all [is] vanity and vexation of spirit.
ECC-1:15 [That which is] crooked cannot be made straight: and
that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
ECC-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.
ECC-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.
ECC-1:18 For in much wisdom [is] much grief: and he that
increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
