THE words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1017999">2</a>. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018000">3</a>. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018001">4</a>. One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018002">5</a>. The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018003">6</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018004">7</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018005">8</a>. All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018006">9</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018007">10</a>. Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new?  it hath been already of old time, which was before us.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018008">11</a>. 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.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018009">12</a>. I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018010">13</a>. And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018011">14</a>. I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018012">15</a>. That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018013">16</a>. I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018014">17</a>. And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1018015">18</a>. For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.</li>
