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 (H8804) the Preacher H6953, vanity H1892 of vanities H1892; all is vanity H1892.

3What profit H3504 hath a man H120 of all his labour H5999 which he taketh H5998 (H8799) under the sun H8121?

4One generation H1755 passeth away H1980 (H8802), and another generation H1755 cometh H935 (H8802) (H8676) H935 (H8804): but the earth H776 abideth H5975 (H8802) for ever H5769.

5The sun H8121 also ariseth H2224 (H8804), and the sun H8121 goeth down H935 (H8804), and hasteth H7602 (H8802) to his place H4725 where he arose H2224 (H8802).

6The wind H7307 goeth H1980 (H8802) toward the south H1864, and turneth about H5437 (H8802) unto the north H6828; it whirleth about continually H1980 (H8802), and the wind H7307 returneth again H7725 (H8804) according to his circuits H5439.

7All the rivers H5158 run H1980 (H8802) into the sea H3220; yet the sea H3220 is not full H4392; unto the place H4725 from whence the rivers H5158 come H1980 (H8802), thither they return H7725 (H8802) again H3212 (H8800).

8All things H1697 are full of labour H3023; man H376 cannot H3201 (H8799) utter H1696 (H8763) it: the eye H5869 is not satisfied H7646 (H8799) with seeing H7200 (H8800), nor the ear H241 filled H4390 (H8735) with hearing H8085 (H8800).

9The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done H6213 (H8738) is that which shall be done H6213 (H8735): and there is no new H2319 thing under the sun H8121.

10Is there H3426 any thing H1697 whereof it may be said H559 (H8799), See H7200 (H8798), this is new H2319? it hath been already H3528 of old time H5769, which was before H6440 us.

11There is no remembrance H2146 of former H7223 things; neither shall there be any remembrance H2146 of things that are to come H314 with those that shall come after H314.

12I the Preacher H6953 was king H4428 over Israel H3478 in Jerusalem H3389.

13And I gave H5414 (H8804) my heart H3820 to seek H1875 (H8800) and search out H8446 (H8800) by wisdom H2451 concerning all things that are done H6213 (H8738) under heaven H8064: this sore H7451 travail H6045 hath God H430 given H5414 (H8804) to the sons H1121 of man H120 to be exercised H6031 (H8800) therewith.

14I have seen H7200 (H8804) all the works H4639 that are done H6213 (H8738) under the sun H8121; and, behold, all is vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit H7307.

15That which is crooked H5791 (H8794) cannot H3201 (H8799) be made straight H8626 (H8800): and that which is wanting H2642 cannot H3201 (H8799) be numbered H4487 (H8736).

16I communed H1696 (H8765) with mine own heart H3820, saying H559 (H8800), Lo, I am come to great estate H1431 (H8689), and have gotten H3254 (H8689) more wisdom H2451 than all they that have been before H6440 me in Jerusalem H3389: yea, my heart H3820 had great H7235 (H8687) experience H7200 (H8804) of wisdom H2451 and knowledge H1847.

17And I gave H5414 (H8799) my heart H3820 to know H3045 (H8800) wisdom H2451, and to know H3045 (H8800) madness H1947 and folly H5531: I perceived H3045 (H8804) that this H1571 also is vexation H7475 of spirit H7307.

18For in much H7230 wisdom H2451 is much H7230 grief H3708: and he that increaseth H3254 (H8686) knowledge H1847 increaseth H3254 (H8686) sorrow H4341.
