Vanity
of
vanities
,
saith
the
Preacher
,
vanity
of
vanities
; all is
vanity

@ What
profit
hath a
man
of all his
labour
which he
taketh
under the
sun
?
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:4
@ One
generation
passeth
away
, and another
generation
cometh
: but the
earth
abideth
for
ever
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:5
@ The
sun
also
ariseth
, and the
sun
goeth
down

hasteth
to his
place
where he
arose

@ The
wind
goeth
toward the
south

about
unto the
north

continually
, and the
wind
returneth
again
according to his
circuits

@ 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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:10

there
any
thing
whereof it may be
said

already

time
, which was
before
us.

former
things; neither shall there be any
remembrance

after

Preacher
was
king
over
Israel
in
Jerusalem

strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:14
@ I have
seen
all the
works
that are
done
under the
sun

vanity

vexation
of
spirit
.

@ That which is
crooked
cannot
be made
straight

wanting
cannot
be
numbered

strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes: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
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:18
@ For in
much
wisdom
is
much
grief
: and he that
increaseth
knowledge
increaseth
sorrow
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:1
@
Dead
flies
cause the
ointment
of the
apothecary
to send
forth
a stinking
savour
: so doth a
little
folly
him that is in
reputation
for
wisdom
and
honour
.

@ A wise
mans
heart
is at his right
hand
; but a
fools
heart

left
s@.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:3
@ Yea also, when he that is a
fool
walketh
by the
way
, his
wisdom
faileth
him, and he
saith
to every one that he is a
fool
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:4
@ If the
spirit
of the
ruler
rise
up
against thee,
leave
not thy
place
; for
yielding
pacifieth
great
offences
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:5
@ There
is
an
evil
which I have
seen
under the
sun
, as an
error
which
proceedeth
from
the
ruler
:
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:6
@
Folly
is
set
in
great
dignity
, and the
rich
sit
in low
place

diggeth
a
pit

fall
into it; and whoso
breaketh
an
hedge

serpent
shall
bite
him.

@ Whoso
removeth
stones
shall be
hurt
therewith; and he that
cleaveth
wood
shall be
endangered
thereby.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:10
@ If the
iron
be
blunt
, and he do not
whet
the
edge
, then must he
put
to more
strength
: but
wisdom
is
profitable
to
direct
.

serpent
will
bite
without
enchantment
; and a
babbler
is no
better
.

@ The
words
of a wise
mans
mouth
are
gracious
; but the
lips
of a
fool
will swallow
up
himself.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:13
@ The
beginning
of the
words
of his
mouth
is
foolishness
: and the
end
of his
talk
is
mischievous
madness
.
strkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:14
@ A
fool
also is
full
of
words

man
cannot
tell
what shall be; and what shall be
after
him, who can
tell
him?

not the
