Library > Bible versions > NIV > Ecclesiastes > 1 > Ecclesiastes   1 : 1 The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem: 1 : 2 Meaningless! Meaningless! says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." 1 : 3 What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun? 1 : 4 Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. 1 : 5 The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. 1 : 6 The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. 1 : 7 All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again. 1 : 8 All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing. 1 : 9 What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun. 1 : 10 Is there anything of which one can say, "Look! This is something new"? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time. 1 : 11 There is no remembrance of men of old, and even those who are yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow. 1 : 12 I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 1 : 13 I devoted myself to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under heaven. What a heavy burden God has laid on men! 1 : 14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind. 1 : 15 What is twisted cannot be straightened; what is lacking cannot be counted. 1 : 16 I thought to myself, "Look, I have grown and increased in wisdom more than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me; I have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge." 1 : 17 Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind. 1 : 18 For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.
