Ecclésiaste 1

1The words^H1697 of the Preacher^H6953, the son^H1121 of David^H1732, king^H4428 in Jerusalem^H3389. 2Vanity^H1892 of vanities^H1892, saith^H559 the Preacher^H6953; vanity^H1892 of vanities^H1892, all is vanity^H1892. 3What profit^H3504 hath man^H120 of all his labor^H5999 wherein he laboreth^H5998 under the sun^H8121? 4One generation^H1755 goeth^H1980, and another generation^H1755 cometh^H935; but the earth^H776 abideth^H5975 for ever^H5769. 5The sun^H8121 also ariseth^H2224, and the sun^H8121 goeth down^H935, and hasteth^H7602 to its place^H4725 where it ariseth^H2224. 6The wind^H7307 goeth^H1980 toward the south^H1864, and turneth about^H5437 unto the north^H6828; it turneth about continually^H1980 in its course, and the wind^H7307 returneth again^H7725 to its circuits^H5439. 7All the rivers^H5158 run^H1980 into the sea^H3220, yet the sea^H3220 is not full^H4392; unto the place^H4725 whither the rivers^H5158 go^H1980, thither they go^H1980 again^H3212. 8All things^H1697 are full of weariness^H3023; man^H376 cannot^H3201 utter^H1696 it: the eye^H5869 is not satisfied^H7646 with seeing^H7200, nor the ear^H241 filled^H4390 with hearing^H8085. 9That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done^H6213 is that which shall be done^H6213: and there is no new^H2319 thing under the sun^H8121. 10Is there^H3426 a thing^H1697 whereof it may be said^H559, See^H7200, this is new^H2319? it hath been long ago^H3528, in the ages^H5769 which were before^H6440 us. 11There is no remembrance^H2146 of the former^H7223 generations; neither shall there be any remembrance^H2146 of the latter generations that are to come^H314, among those that shall come after^H314. 12I the Preacher^H6953 was king^H4428 over Israel^H3478 in Jerusalem^H3389. 13And I applied^H5414 my heart^H3820 to seek^H1875 and to search out^H8446 by wisdom^H2451 concerning all that is done^H6213 under heaven^H8064: it is a sore^H7451 travail^H6045 that God^H430 hath given^H5414 to the sons^H1121 of men^H120 to be exercised^H6031 therewith. 14I have seen^H7200 all the works^H4639 that are done^H6213 under the sun^H8121; and, behold, all is vanity^H1892 and a striving^H7469 after wind^H7307. 15That which is crooked^H5791 cannot^H3201 be made straight^H8626; and that which is wanting^H2642 cannot^H3201 be numbered^H4487. 16I communed^H1696 with mine own heart^H3820, saying^H559, Lo, I have gotten^H3254 me great^H1431 wisdom^H2451 above all that were before^H6440 me in Jerusalem^H3389; yea, my heart^H3820 hath had great^H7235 experience^H7200 of wisdom^H2451 and knowledge^H1847. 17And I applied^H5414 my heart^H3820 to know^H3045 wisdom^H2451, and to know^H3045 madness^H1947 and folly^H5531: I perceived^H3045 that this^H1571 also was a striving^H7475 after wind^H7307. 18For in much^H7230 wisdom^H2451 is much^H7230 grief^H3708; and he that increaseth^H3254 knowledge^H1847 increaseth^H3254 sorrow^H4341.
