Ecclesiastes 1:1 The words1697 of the{Hebrew Koheleth.} Preacher,6953 the son1121 of David,1732 king4428 in Jerusalem.3389 cr 2 Vanity1892 of vanities,1892 saith559 the Preacher;6953 vanity1892 of vanities,1892 all is vanity.1892 cr 3 What profit3504 hath man120 of all his labor5999 wherein he laboreth5998 under the sun?8121 cr 4 One generation1755 goeth,1980 and another generation1755 cometh;935 but the earth776 abideth5975 for ever.5769 cr 5 The sun8121 also ariseth,2224 and the sun8121 goeth down,935 and hasteth7602 to its place4725 where it ariseth.2224 cr 6 The wind7307 goeth1980 toward the south,1864 and turneth about5437 unto the north;6828 it turneth about continually1980 in its course, and the wind7307 returneth again7725 to its circuits.5439 cr 7 All the rivers5158{Or, torrents} run1980 into the sea,3220 yet the sea3220 is not full;4392 unto the place4725 whither the rivers5158 go,1980 thither they go1980 again.3212 cr 8 All{Or, All words are feeble} things1697 are full of weariness;3023 man376 cannot3201 utter1696 it: the eye5869 is not satisfied7646 with seeing,7200 nor the ear241 filled4390 with hearing.8085 cr

Ecclesiastes 1:9 That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done6213 is that which shall be done:6213 and there is no new2319 thing under the sun.8121 cr 10 Is there3426 a thing1697 whereof it may be said,559 See,7200 this is new?2319 it hath been long ago,3528 in the ages5769 which were before us.6440 cr 11 There is no remembrance2146 of the former7223 generations; neither shall there be any remembrance2146 of the latter generations that are to come,314 among those that shall come after.314 cr 12 I the Preacher6953 was king4428 over Israel3478 in Jerusalem.3389 cr 13 And I applied5414 my heart3820 to seek1875 and to search out8446 by wisdom2451 concerning all that is done6213 under heaven:8064 it is a sore7451 travail6045 that God430 hath given5414 to the sons1121 of men120 to be exercised therewith.6031 cr 14 I have seen7200 all the works4639 that are done6213 under the sun;8121 and, behold, all is vanity1892 and a{Or, a feeding on wind (See Hos. 12:1). Or, vexation of spirit (and so elsewhere).} striving7469 after wind.7307 cr 15 That which is crooked5791 cannot3201 be made straight;8626 and that{Hebrew defect.} which is wanting2642 cannot3201 be numbered.4487 cr 16 I communed1696 with mine own heart,3820 saying,559 Lo, I have gotten3254 me great1431 wisdom2451 above{Or, yea, more than all} all that were before6440 me in{Hebrew over.} Jerusalem;3389 yea, my heart3820 hath{Hebrew hath seen abundantly.} had great7235 experience7200 of wisdom2451 and knowledge.1847 cr 17 And I applied5414 my heart3820 to know3045 wisdom,2451 and to know3045 madness1947 and folly:5531 I perceived3045 that this1571 also was a striving7475 after wind.7307 cr 18 For in much7230 wisdom2451 is much7230 grief;3708 and he that increaseth3254 knowledge1847 increaseth3254 sorrow.4341 cr
