1The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
2All is to no purpose, said the Preacher, all the ways of man are to no purpose.
3What is a man profited by all his work which he does under the sun?
4One generation goes and another comes; but the earth is for ever.
5The sun comes up and the sun goes down, and goes quickly back to the place where he came up.
6The wind goes to the south, turning back again to the north; circling round for ever.
7All the rivers go down to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the rivers go, there they go again.
8All things are full of weariness; man may not give their story: the eye has never enough of its seeing, or the ear of its hearing.
9That which has been, is that which is to be, and that which has been done, is that which will be done, and there is no new thing under the sun.
