'Seen' in the Bible
I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity, a futile grasping and chasing after the wind.
There is nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and assure himself that there is good in his labor. Even this, I have seen, is from the hand of God.
I have seen the task which God has given to the sons of men with which to occupy themselves.
But better off than either of them is the one who has not yet been born, who has not seen the evil deeds that are done under the sun.
There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun: riches being kept and hoarded by their owner to his own misery.
Behold, here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat and drink, and to find enjoyment in all the labor in which he labors under the sun during the few days of his life which God gives him—for this is his [allotted] reward.
There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it weighs heavily on men:
It has not seen the sun nor had any knowledge; yet it has more rest and is better off than he.
Even if the other man lives a thousand years twice over and yet has seen no good and experienced no enjoyment—do not both go to one place [the grave]?”
I have seen everything during my [fleeting] days of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in [spite of] his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who lives a long life in [spite of] his wickedness.
All this I have seen while applying my mind to every deed that is done under the sun. There is a time in which one man has exercised power over others to their detriment.
This [illustration of] wisdom I have also seen under the sun, and great it was to me:
There is an evil I have seen under the sun, like an error which proceeds from the ruler—
I have seen slaves riding on horses and princes walking like slaves on the ground.
