Lyrics
1 The words of the
Preacher, the son of
David, king in Jerusalem.
2 Vanity of vanities,
saith the Preacher, vanity
of vanities; all is
vanity.
3 What profit hath a man
of all his labour which he
taketh under the sun?
4 One generation passeth
away, and another
generation cometh: but the
earth abideth for ever.
5 The sun also ariseth,
and the sun goeth down,
and hasteth to his place
where he arose.
6 The wind goeth toward
the south, and turneth
about unto the north; it
whirleth about
continually, and the wind
returneth again according
to his circuits.
7 All the rivers run into
the sea; yet the sea is
not full; unto the place
from whence the rivers
come, thither they return
again.
8 All things are full of
labour; man cannot utter
it: the eye is not
satisfied with seeing, nor
the ear filled with
hearing.
9 The thing that hath
been, it is that which
shall be; and that which
is done is that which
shall be done: and there
is no new thing under the
sun.
10 Is there any thing
whereof it may be said,
See, this is new? it hath
been already of old time,
which was before us.
11 There is no remembrance
of former things; neither
shall there be any
remembrance of things that
are to come with those
that shall come after.
12 I the Preacher was king
over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 And I gave my heart to
seek and search out by
wisdom concerning all
things that are done under
heaven: this sore travail
hath God given to the sons
of man to be exercised
therewith.
14 I have seen all the
works that are done under
the sun; and, behold, all
is vanity and vexation of
spirit.
15 That which is crooked
cannot be made straight:
and that which is wanting
cannot be numbered.
16 I communed with mine
own heart, saying, Lo, I
am come to great estate,
and have gotten more
wisdom than all they that
have been before me in
Jerusalem: yea, my heart
had great experience of
wisdom and knowledge.
17 And I gave my heart to
know wisdom, and to know
madness and folly: I
perceived that this also
is vexation of spirit.
18 For in much wisdom is
much grief: and he that
increaseth knowledge
increaseth sorrow.
