V.1 The words 1697 of the Preacher, 6953 the son 1121 of David, 1732 king 4428 in Jerusalem. 3389

1:2 Vanity 1892 of vanities, 1892 saith 559-1 the Preacher, 6953 vanity 1892 of vanities; 1892 all [is] vanity. 1892

1:3 What profit 3504 hath a man 120 of all his labour 5999 which he taketh 5998-4 under the sun? 8121

1:4 [One] generation 1755 passeth away, 1980-6 and [another] generation 1755 cometh: 935-6|935-1-q but the earth 776 abideth 5975-6 for ever. 5769

1:5 The sun 8121 also ariseth, 2224-1 and the sun 8121 goeth down, 935-1 and hasteth 7602-6 to his place 4725 where he arose. 2224-6

1:6 The wind 7307 goeth 1980-6 toward the south, 1864 and turneth about 5437-6 unto the north; 6828 it whirleth 1980-6 about 5437-6 continually, 5437-6 and the wind 7307 returneth again 7725-1 according to his circuits. 5439

1:7 All the rivers 5158 run 1980-6 into the sea; 3220 yet the sea 3220 [is] not full; 4392 unto the place 4725 from whence the rivers 5158 come, 1980-6 thither they return 7725-6 again. 3212-2

1:8 All things 1697 [are] full of labour; 3023 man 376 cannot 3808 3201-4 utter 1696-15 [it]: the eye 5869 is not satisfied 7646-4 with seeing, 7200-2 nor the ear 241 filled 4390-11 with hearing. 8085-2

1:9 The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done 6213-8 [is] that which shall be done: 6213-11 and [there is] no new 2319 [thing] under the sun. 8121

1:10 Is there 3426 [any] thing 1697 whereof it may be said, 559-4 See, 7200-3 this [is] new? 2319 it hath been already 3528 of old time, 5769 which was before 6440 us.

1:11 [There is] no remembrance 2146 of former 7223 [things]; neither shall there be [any] remembrance 2146 of [things] that are to come 314 with [those] that shall come after. 314

1:12 I the Preacher 6953 was king 4428 over Israel 3478 in Jerusalem. 3389

1:13 And I gave 5414-1 my heart 3820 to seek 1875-2 and search out 8446-2 by wisdom 2451 concerning all [things] that are done 6213-8 under heaven: 8064 this sore 7451 travail 6045 hath God 430 given 5414-1 to the sons 1121 of man 120 to be exercised 6031-2 therewith.

1:14 I have seen 7200-1 all the works 4639 that are done 6213-8 under the sun; 8121 and, behold, all [is] vanity 1892 and vexation 7469 of spirit. 7307

1:15 [That which is] crooked 5791-30 cannot 3808 3201-4 be made straight: 8626-2 and that which is wanting 2642 cannot 3808 3201-4 be numbered. 4487-9

1:16 I communed 1696-14 with mine own heart, 3820 saying, 559-2 Lo, I am come to great estate, 1431-52 and have gotten more 3254-52 wisdom 2451 than all [they] that have been before 6440 me in Jerusalem: 3389 yea, my heart 3820 had great 7235-53 experience 7200-1 of wisdom 2451 and knowledge. 1847

1:17 And I gave 5414-4 my heart 3820 to know 3045-2 wisdom, 2451 and to know 3045-2 madness 1947 and folly: 5531 I perceived 3045-1 that this also 1571 is vexation 7475 of spirit. 7307
