1 # The words <01697> of the Preacher <06953>, the son <01121> of David <01732>, king <04428> in Jerusalem <03389>.
2 Vanity <01892> of vanities <01892>, saith <0559> (8804) the Preacher <06953>, vanity <01892> of vanities <01892>; all is vanity <01892>.
3 What profit <03504> hath a man <0120> of all his labour <05999> which he taketh <05998> (8799) under the sun <08121>?
4 # One generation <01755> passeth away <01980> (8802), and another generation <01755> cometh <0935> (8802) (8676) <0935> (8804): but the earth <0776> abideth <05975> (8802) for ever <05769>.
5 The sun <08121> also ariseth <02224> (8804), and the sun <08121> goeth down <0935> (8804), and hasteth <07602> (8802) to his place <04725> where he arose <02224> (8802).
6 The wind <07307> goeth <01980> (8802) toward the south <01864>, and turneth about <05437> (8802) unto the north <06828>; it whirleth about continually <01980> (8802), and the wind <07307> returneth again <07725> (8804) according to his circuits <05439>.
7 All the rivers <05158> run <01980> (8802) into the sea <03220>; yet the sea <03220> is not full <04392>; unto the place <04725> from whence the rivers <05158> come <01980> (8802), thither they return <07725> (8802) again <03212> (8800).
8 All things <01697> are full of labour <03023>; man <0376> cannot <03201> (8799) utter <01696> (8763) it: the eye <05869> is not satisfied <07646> (8799) with seeing <07200> (8800), nor the ear <0241> filled <04390> (8735) with hearing <08085> (8800).
9 # The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done <06213> (8738) is that which shall be done <06213> (8735): and there is no new <02319> thing under the sun <08121>.
10 Is there <03426> any thing <01697> whereof it may be said <0559> (8799), See <07200> (8798) , this is new <02319>? it hath been already <03528> of old time <05769>, which was before <06440> us.
11 There is no remembrance <02146> of former <07223> things; neither shall there be any remembrance <02146> of things that are to come <0314> with those that shall come after <0314>.
12 # I the Preacher <06953> was king <04428> over Israel <03478> in Jerusalem <03389>.
13 And I gave <05414> (8804) my heart <03820> to seek <01875> (8800) and search out <08446> (8800) by wisdom <02451> concerning all things that are done <06213> (8738) under heaven <08064>: this sore <07451> travail <06045> hath God <0430> given <05414> (8804) to the sons <01121> of man <0120> to be exercised <06031> (8800) therewith.
14 I have seen <07200> (8804) all the works <04639> that are done <06213> (8738) under the sun <08121> ; and, behold, all is vanity <01892> and vexation <07469> of spirit <07307>.
15 That which is crooked <05791> (8794) cannot <03201> (8799) be made straight <08626> (8800) : and that which is wanting <02642> cannot <03201> (8799) be numbered <04487> (8736).
16 I communed <01696> (8765) with mine own heart <03820>, saying <0559> (8800), Lo, I am come to great estate <01431> (8689), and have gotten <03254> (8689) more wisdom <02451> than all they that have been before <06440> me in Jerusalem <03389>: yea, my heart <03820> had great <07235> (8687) experience <07200> (8804) of wisdom <02451> and knowledge <01847>.
17 And I gave <05414> (8799) my heart <03820> to know <03045> (8800) wisdom <02451>, and to know <03045> (8800) madness <01947> and folly <05531>: I perceived <03045> (8804) that this <01571> also is vexation <07475> of spirit <07307>.
18 For in much <07230> wisdom <02451> is much <07230> grief <03708>: and he that increaseth <03254> (8686) knowledge <01847> increaseth <03254> (8686) sorrow <04341>.
