*
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 profit has man from all his labor in which he labors under the sun ?
*
One generation goes ,
and another generation comes ,
but the earth abides forever .
*
The sun also arises ,
and the sun goes down and hastens to its place where it arises .
*
The wind goes toward the south ,
and turns around to the north .
It turns around continually in its course ,
and the wind returns again to its circuits .
*
All the rivers run into the sea ,
yet the sea is not full .
To the place from where the rivers come ,
there they go again .
*
All things are full of weariness ,
man cannot utter [
it ].
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 ,
See ,
this is new ?
It has been long ago ,
in the ages which were before us .
*
There is no remembrance of the former [
things ],
nor shall there be any remembrance of the latter that are to come ,
among those who shall come after .
