Ecclesiastes
or the Preacher
The
wordes
of
the
Preacher,
the
son
of
Dauid,
King
in
Ierusalem.
2
Uanitie
of
vanities,
saith
the
Preacher,
vanitie
of
vanities,
all
is
vanitie.
3
What
profite
hath
a
man
of
all
his
labour
which
hee
taketh
vnder
the
Sunne?
4
One
generation
passeth
away,
and
another
generation
commeth:
but
the
earth
abideth
for
euer.
5
The
Sunne
also
ariseth,
and
the
Sunne
goeth
downe,
and
hasteth
to
the
place
where
he
arose.
6
The
winde
goeth
toward
the
South,
and
turneth
about
vnto
the
North;
it
whirleth
about
continually,
and
the
winde
returneth
againe
according
to
his
circuits.
7
All
the
riuers
runne
into
the
sea,
yet
the
Sea
is
not
full:
vnto
the
place
from
whence
the
riuers
come,
thither
they
returne
againe.
8
All
things
are
full
of
labour,
man
cannot
vtter
it:
the
eye
is
not
satisfied
with
seeing,
nor
the
eare
filled
with
hearing.
9
The
thing
that
hath
beene,
it
is
that
which
shall
be:
and
that
which
is
done,
is
that
which
shall
be
done;
and
there
is
no
new
thing
vnder
the
sunne.
10
Is
there
any
thing,
whereof
it
may
be
sayd,
See,
this
is
new?
it
hath
beene
already
of
olde
time,
which
was
before
vs.
11
There
is
no
remembrance
of
former
things;
neither
shall
there
bee
any
remembrance
of
things
that
are
to
come,
with
those
that
shall
come
after.
12
I
the
Preacher
was
king
ouer
Israel
in
Ierusalem.
13
And
I
gaue
my
heart
to
seeke
and
search
out
by
wisedome,
concerning
all
things
that
are
done
vnder
heauen:
this
sore
trauell
hath
God
giuen
to
the
sonnes
of
man,
to
be
exercised
therewith.
14
I
haue
seene
all
the
workes
that
are
done
vnder
the
Sunne,
and
behold,
all
is
vanitie,
and
vexation
of
spirit.
15
That
which
is
crooked,
cannot
be
made
straight:
and
that
which
is
wanting
cannot
be
numbred.
16
I
communed
with
mine
owne
heart,
saying,
Loe,
I
am
come
to
great
estate,
and
haue
gotten
more
wisedome
then
all
they
that
haue
beene
before
me
in
Ierusalem:
yea
my
heart
had
great
experience
of
wisedome
&
knowledge.
17
And
I
gaue
my
heart
to
know
wisedome,
and
to
know
madnesse
and
folly:
I
perceiued
that
this
also
is
vexation
of
spirit.
18
For
in
much
wisedome
is
much
griefe:
and
hee
that
increaseth
knowledge,
increaseth
sorrow.
