Ecclesiastes:1:1-11

* The words of the Preacher , the son of David , king in Jerusalem . * 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 ? * One generation passeth away , and another generation cometh : but the earth abideth for ever . * The sun also ariseth , and the sun goeth down , and hasteth to his place where he arose . * 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 . * 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 . * All things are full of labour ; man cannot utter it : the eye is not satisfied with seeing , nor the ear filled with hearing . * 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 . * Is there any thing whereof it may be said , See , this is new ? it hath been already of old time , which was before us . * 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 .
