Ecclesiastes 1:10-15

¹⁰Sometimes people say, “Look at this! This is something new RHQ!” But it has existed previously; it existed before we were born.

¹¹People do not remember the things that happened long ago, and in the future, people will not remember what we are doing now.

¹²I, the Religious Teacher, have been the king of Israel for many years, ruling in Jerusalem.

¹³By being wise, I concentrated on understanding everything that was being done on the earth MTY. But I found out that God causes all of us to experience things that cause us to be unhappy/miserable.

¹⁴It seems that nothing that happens on the earth really enables us to do anything useful. It is like MET chasing the wind.

¹⁵Many things that are crooked cannot be caused to become straight; we cannot count things that do not exist.
