Ecclesiastes 1:2-11

All is Vanity

Ecclesiastes 1:2-11
2
Pointless! Pointless! - says Kohelet -Utterly meaningless! Nothing matters!
3
What does a person gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?
4
Generations come, generations go, but the earth remains forever.
5
The sun rises, the sun sets; then it speeds to its place and rises there.
6
The wind blows south, then it turns north; the wind blows all around and keeps returning to its rounds.
7
All the rivers flow to the sea, yet the sea is not full; to the place where the rivers flow, there they keep on flowing.
8
Everything is wearisome, more than one can express; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, the ear not filled up with hearing.
9
What has been is what will be, what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun.
10
Is there something of which it is said, "See, this is new"? It existed already in the ages before us.
11
No one remembers the people of long ago; and those to come will not be remembered by those who come after them.
