2: VanityH1892 of vanities,H1892 saysH0559 the Teacher,H6953 VanityH1892 of vanities-H1892 allH3605 [is] vanity.H1892
3: WhatH4100 profitH3504 has a manH0120 from allH3605 his laborH5999 in which he toilsH5998 underH8478 the sun?H8121
4: [One] generationH1755 passes away,H1980 and [another] generationH1755 comes,H0935 but the earthH0776 foreverH5769 abides.H5975
5: And rises,H2224 the sunH8121 and goes down,H0935 the sunH8121 and toH0413 the placeH4725 hastensH7602 aroseH2224 itH1931 where.H8033
6: GoesH1980 towardH0413 the south,H1864 and turns aroundH5437 toH0413 the north-H6828 continuallyH5437 continually,H5437 whirls aboutH1980 the windH7307 and onH5921 its circuitH5439 comes againH7725 the wind.H7307
7: AllH3605 the riversH5158 runH1980 intoH0413 the sea-H3220 and yet the seaH3220 [is] notH0369 full-H4392 toH0413 the placeH4725 from which the riversH5158 come,H1980 thereH8033 theyH1992 returnH7725 again.H1980
8: AllH3605 things [are]H1697 wearisome-H3023 norH3808 cannotH3201 ManH0376 express [it]H1696 notH3808 is satisfiedH7646 the eyeH5869 with seeing,H7200 norH3808 filledH4390 the earH0241 with hearing.H8085
9: WhatH4100 has been,H1961 isH1931 what will be-H1961 and whatH4100 [is] doneH6213 isH1931 what will be done.H6213 And [there is] nothingH0369 allH3605 newH2319 underH8478 the sun.H8121
10: Is thereH3426 anythingH1697 of which it may be said,H0559 See,H7200 this [is]H2088 new?H2319 itH1931 alreadyH3528 has beenH1961 in ancient times,H5769 thatH0834 wasH1961 before us.H6440

13: And I setH5414 -H0853 my heartH3820 to seekH1875 and search outH8446 by wisdomH2451 concerningH5921 allH3605 thatH0834 is doneH6213 underH8478 heaven.H8064 ThatH1931 taskH6045 burdensomeH7451 has givenH5414 GodH0430 to the sonsH1121 of manH0120 they may be exercisedH6031
14: I have seenH7200 -H0853 allH3605 the worksH4639 that are doneH6213 underH8478 the sun-H8121 and indeed,H2009 allH3605 [is] vanityH1892 and grasping forH7469 the wind.H7307
15: [What is] crookedH5791 cannotH3808 be madeH3201 straight-H8626 and what is lackingH2642 cannotH3808 beH3201 numbered.H4487
16: CommunedH1696 IH0589 withH5973 my heart,H3820 saying,H0559 IH0589 Look,H2009 have attained greatness,H1431 and have gained moreH3254 wisdomH2451 thanH5921 allH3605 whoH0834 wereH1961 before meH6440 inH5921 Jerusalem-H3389 and My heartH3820 has understoodH7200 greatH7235 wisdomH2451 and knowledge.H1847
17: And I setH5414 my heartH3820 to knowH3045 wisdom,H2451 and to knowH3045 madnessH1947 and folly-H5531 I perceivedH3045 that alsoH1571 thisH2088 isH1931 grasping forH7475 the wind.H7307
18: ForH3588 in muchH7230 wisdomH2451 [is] muchH7227 grief,H3708 and he who increasesH3254 knowledgeH1847 increasesH3254 sorrow.H4341
