Ecclesiastes 1:1 (RV) Revised Version

1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; vanity of vanities, all is vanity.
3 What profit hath man of all his labour wherein he laboureth under the sun?
4 One generation goeth, and another generation cometh; and the earth abideth for ever.
5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he ariseth.
6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it turneth about continually in its course, and the wind returneth again to its circuits.
7 All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; unto the place whither the rivers go, thither they go again.
8 All things are full of weariness; man cannot utter {cf15i it}: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
10 Is there a thing whereof men say, See, this is new? it hath been already, in the ages which were before us.
11 There is no remembrance of the former {cf15i generations}; neither shall there be any remembrance of the latter {cf15i generations} that are to come, among those that shall come after.
12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13 And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven: it is a sore travail that God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.
15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I have gotten me great wisdom above all that were before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart hath had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
17 And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also was a striving after wind.
18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
1 The words H1697 of the Preacher, H6953 the son H1121 of David, H1732 king H4428 in Jerusalem. H3389
2 Vanity H1892 of vanities, H1892 saith H559 the Preacher, H6953 vanity H1892 of vanities; H1892 all H3605 is vanity. H1892
3 What H4100 profit H3504 hath a man H120 of all H3605 his labor H5999 which he taketh H7945 H5998 under H8478 the sun H8121 ?
4 One generation H1755 passeth away, H1980 and another generation H1755 cometh: H935 but the earth H776 abideth H5975 forever. H5769
5 The sun H8121 also ariseth, H2224 and the sun H8121 goeth down, H935 and hasteth H7602 to H413 his place H4725 where H8033 he H1931 arose. H2224
6 The wind H7307 goeth H1980 toward H413 the south, H1864 and turneth about H5437 unto H413 the north; H6828 it whirleth about H1980 continually H5437 H5437 , and the wind H7307 returneth again H7725 according H5921 to his circuits. H5439
7 All H3605 the rivers H5158 run H1980 into H413 the sea; H3220 yet the sea H3220 is not H369 full; H4392 unto H413 the place H4725 from whence the rivers H7945 H5158 come, H1980 thither H8033 they H1992 return H7725 again. H1980
8 All H3605 things H1697 are full of labor; H3023 man H376 cannot H3201 H3808 utter H1696 it : the eye H5869 is not H3808 satisfied H7646 with seeing, H7200 nor H3808 the ear H241 filled H4390 with hearing H4480 H8085 .
9 The thing H4100 that hath been H7945 H1961 , it H1931 is that which shall be H7945 H1961 ; and that H4100 which is done H7945 H6213 is that H1931 which shall be done H7945 H6213 : and there is no H369 H3605 new H2319 thing under H8478 the sun. H8121
10 Is there H3426 any thing H1697 whereof it may be said H7945 H559 , See, H7200 this H2088 is new H2319 ? it H1931 hath been H1961 already H3528 of old time, H5769 which H834 was H1961 before H4480 H6440 us.
11 There is no H369 remembrance H2146 of former H7223 things ; neither H1571 H3808 shall there be H1961 any remembrance H2146 of things that are to come H7945 H1961 with H5973 those that shall come H7945 H1961 after. H314
12 I H589 the Preacher H6953 was H1961 king H4428 over H5921 Israel H3478 in Jerusalem. H3389
13 And I gave H5414 H853 my heart H3820 to seek H1875 and search out H8446 by wisdom H2451 concerning H5921 all H3605 things that H834 are done H6213 under H8478 heaven: H8064 this H1931 sore H7451 travail H6045 hath God H430 given H5414 to the sons H1121 of man H120 to be exercised H6031 therewith.
14 I have seen H7200 H853 all H3605 the works H4639 that are done H7945 H6213 under H8478 the sun; H8121 and, behold, H2009 all H3605 is vanity H1892 and vexation H7469 of spirit. H7307
15 That which is crooked H5791 cannot H3201 H3808 be made straight: H8626 and that which is wanting H2642 cannot H3201 H3808 be numbered. H4487
16 I H589 communed H1696 with H5973 mine own heart, H3820 saying, H559 Lo, H2009 I H589 am come to great estate, H1431 and have gotten more H3254 wisdom H2451 than H5921 all H3605 they that H834 have been H1961 before H6440 me in H5921 Jerusalem: H3389 yea , my heart H3820 had great H7235 experience H7200 of wisdom H2451 and knowledge. H1847
17 And I gave H5414 my heart H3820 to know H3045 wisdom, H2451 and to know H3045 madness H1947 and folly: H5531 I perceived H3045 that this H2088 also H7945 H1571 is vexation H7475 of spirit. H7307
18 For H3588 in much H7230 wisdom H2451 is much H7230 grief: H3708 and he that increaseth H3254 knowledge H1847 increaseth H3254 sorrow. H4341
