rotherham@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @ I, the Proclaimer, was king over Israel, in Jerusalem.

rotherham@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @ And I gave my heart to seek and to search out, wisely, concerning all things which are done under the heavens, the same, is the vexatious employment God hath given to the sons of men, to work toilsomely therein,

rotherham@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @ I saw all the works which were done under the sun, and lo! all, was vanity, and a feeding on wind.

rotherham@Ecclesiastes:1:15 @ That which is crooked, cannot be straight, and, that which is wanting, cannot be reckoned.

rotherham@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @ Spake, I, in my heart, saying, As for me, lo! I have become great, and have gathered wisdom, beyond any one who hath been before me over Jerusalem, and, my heart, hath seen much wisdom and knowledge:

rotherham@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @ yea I have given my heart, to know wisdom, and to know madness, and folly, I know that, even this, is a feeding on wind.
