Vanity of vanities, said the preacher; vanity of vanities, all vanity.

Is there a word will be said, See, this is new? This was already to a long time which was before us.

I Said in my heart, Go now, I will prove thee with gladness, and look thou upon good: and behold, this also vanity.

To laughter I said, It is mad: and to gladness, What did this?

And I said in my heart, As the event of the foolish one, also I, it will meet me; and wherefore then was I more wise? And I spake in my heart, This is also vanity.

I said in my heart, The just one and the unjust one, God will judge: for a time for every inclination and for every work there.

I said in my heart concerning the speeches of the sons of man, for God to separate them, and for them to see that they are cattle to themselves.

The sleep of the servant is sweet, if little, or if much he shall eat: and the satiety to the rich not permitting to him to sleep.

If a man shall beget a hundred, and live many years, and a multitude shall be the days of his years, and his soul shall not be satisfied from good, and also there was no burial to him; I said, Good above him an abortion.

Good the sight of the eyes above the going of the soul. Also this is vanity and striving of spirit

All this I proved by wisdom: I said I will be wise, and it was removed far off from me.

See, this I found, said the preacher: one to one to find understanding

There is vanity which was done upon the earth; that there is the just which it comes upon them according to the work of the unjust: and there is the unjust, it comes upon them according to the work of the just. I said, Also this is vanity.

And I said, Wisdom is good above strength: and the wisdom of the poor one was despised, and his words not heard.

And also as the foolish one went in the way, his heart was wanting, and he said to all, It is folly.

Folly was given to great heights, and the rich were set in lowness.

In the morning sow thy seed, and at evening thou shalt not let thy hand rest: for thou shalt not know whether this shall be right, this or that, or if they two as one being good.

And the light is sweet, and good to the eyes to see the sun:

Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and thy heart shall do thee good in the days of thy youth, and go in the ways of thy heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: and know thou, that for all these God will bring thee into judgment

Vanity of vanities, said the preacher; all is vanity.
