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.

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.

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.

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