Ecclesiastes, chapter 1.

00:05.270 --> 00:09.350
The words of the preacher, the son of
David, king in Jerusalem.

00:10.150 --> 00:12.850
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher.

00:13.570 --> 00:16.290
Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.

00:17.090 --> 00:20.890
What profit hath a man of all his labour
which he taketh under the sun?

00:21.350 --> 00:24.930
One generation passeth away, and another
generation cometh.

00:24.930 --> 00:27.470
But the earth abideth for ever.

00:28.270 --> 00:33.210
The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth
down, and hasteth to his place where he

00:33.210 --> 00:33.710
arose.

00:34.190 --> 00:38.170
The wind goeth toward the south,
and turneth about unto the north.

00:38.690 --> 00:43.210
It whirleth about continually,
and the wind returneth again according to

00:43.210 --> 00:43.910
his circuits.

00:44.610 --> 00:48.650
All the rivers run into the sea,
yet the sea is not full.

00:49.170 --> 00:53.030
Unto the place from whence the rivers
come, thither they return again.

00:53.030 --> 00:55.610
All things are full of labour.

00:56.290 --> 00:57.510
Man cannot utter it.

00:58.150 --> 01:02.250
The eye is not satisfied with seeing,
nor the ear filled with hearing.

01:02.970 --> 01:06.050
The thing that hath been, it is that which
shall be.

01:06.910 --> 01:10.210
And that which is done is that which shall
be done.

01:10.910 --> 01:12.970
And there is no new thing under the sun.

01:13.710 --> 01:17.410
Is there anything whereof it may be said,
See, this is new.

01:17.890 --> 01:21.270
It hath been already of old time,
which was before us.

01:21.270 --> 01:24.190
There is no remembrance of former things.

01:24.770 --> 01:28.890
Neither shall there be any remembrance of
things that are to come, with those that

01:28.890 --> 01:30.010
shall come after.

01:30.790 --> 01:33.350
I the preacher was king over Israel in
Jerusalem.

01:34.010 --> 01:38.390
And I gave my heart to seek and search out
by wisdom concerning all things that are

01:38.390 --> 01:39.230
done under heaven.

01:39.990 --> 01:44.710
This sore travail hath God given to the
sons of man to be exercised therewith.

01:45.310 --> 01:47.810
I have seen all the works that are done
under the sun.

01:47.810 --> 01:52.230
And behold, all is vanity and vexation of
spirit.

01:52.910 --> 01:57.530
That which is crooked cannot be made
straight, and that which is wanting cannot

01:57.530 --> 01:58.130
be numbered.

01:58.950 --> 02:03.490
I communed with mine own heart,
saying, Lo, I am come to greater state,

02:03.690 --> 02:07.690
and have gotten more wisdom than all they
that have been before me in Jerusalem.

02:08.370 --> 02:13.630
Yea, my heart had great experience of
wisdom and knowledge, and I gave my heart

02:13.630 --> 02:16.230
to know wisdom, and to know madness and
folly.

02:16.230 --> 02:19.710
I perceived that this also is vexation of
spirit.

02:20.090 --> 02:24.370
For in much wisdom is much grief,
and he that increaseth knowledge

02:24.370 --> 02:25.990
increaseth sorrow.
