A generation went away, and a generation came: and the earth stood forever.

The sun comes up and the sun goes down, and goes quickly back to the place where he came up.

There is no remembrance of those who came before;
and of those who will come after
there will also be no remembrance
by those who follow them.

So I came to be in despair about everything I had accomplished on earth.

All go to the same place. All came from the dust and all return to the dust.

Then I came back, and I saw an example of what is to no purpose under the sun.

For out of the prison-house he came forth to reign, although he was born poor in his kingdom.

There was no end to all the people, to all before whom he came, yet, they who should come later, would not rejoice in him, - surely, even this, was vanity, and a feeding on wind.

For the dream came in the multitude of labor; and the voice of the foolish one in the multitude of words.

As he had come naked from his mother’s womb, so will he return as he came. He will take nothing from the fruit of his labor that he can carry in his hand.

And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that he laboreth for the wind?

In wind it came and to the dark it will go, and with the dark will its name be covered.

So I saw the wicked buried, and they came to the grave ; and they that had done right went away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city: this also is vanity.

Also this I came to see as wisdom under the sun, and it impressed me.

There was a little town and the number of its men was small, and there came a great king against it and made an attack on it, building works of war round about it.

Or dust be turned again unto earth from whence it came, and or the spirit return unto God, which gave it.
