Ecclesiastes:1:1-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The words of the Preacher ,
the son of David ,
king in Jerusalem :
* "
Vanity of vanities ,"
says the Preacher ; "
Vanity of vanities ,
all is vanity ."
*
What does man gain from all his labor in which he labors under the sun ?
*
One generation goes ,
and another generation comes ;
but the earth remains forever .
*
The sun also rises ,
and the sun goes down ,
and hurries to its place where it rises .
*
The wind goes toward the south ,
and turns around to the north .
It turns around continually as it goes ,
and the wind returns again to its courses .
*
All the rivers run into the sea ,
yet the sea is not full .
To the place where the rivers flow ,
there they flow again .
*
All things are full of weariness beyond uttering .
The eye is not satisfied with seeing ,
nor the ear filled with hearing .
*
That which has been is that which shall be ;
and that which has been done is that which shall be done :
and there is no new thing under the sun .
*
Is there a thing of which it may be said , "
Behold ,
this is new ?"
It has been long ago ,
in the ages which were before us .
*
There is no memory of the former ;
neither shall there be any memory of the latter that are to come ,
among those that shall come after .
