9What is that which has been? the very thing which shall be: and what is that which has been done? the very thing which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10Who is he that shall speak and say, Behold, this is new? it has already been in the ages that have passed before us.
11There is no memorial to the first things; neither to the things that have been last shall their memorial be with them that shall at the last time.
12I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13And I applied my heart to seek out and examine by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven, for God has given to the sons of men an evil trouble to be troubled therewith.
14I *saw all the works that were wrought under the sun; and, *saw, all were vanity and waywardness of spirit.
15That which is crooked can’t be made straight: and deficiency can’t be numbered.
16I spoke in my heart, saying, Behold, I am increased, and have acquired wisdom beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem: also I applied my heart to know wisdom and knowledge.
17And my heart knew much—wisdom, and knowledge, parables and understanding: I perceived that this also is waywardness of spirit.
18For in the abundance of wisdom is abundance of knowledge; and he that increases knowledge will increase sorrow.
