    2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities! all is vanity.DBY — Ecclesiastes 1:2

    3 What profit hath man of all his labour wherewith he laboureth under the sun?DBY — Ecclesiastes 1:3

    4 [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh, but the earth standeth for ever.DBY — Ecclesiastes 1:4

    8 All things are full of toil; none can express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.DBY — Ecclesiastes 1:8

    12 I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.DBY — Ecclesiastes 1:12

    14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and pursuit of the wind.DBY — Ecclesiastes 1:14

    15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.DBY — Ecclesiastes 1:15

    16 I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I have become great and have acquired wisdom more than all they that have been before me over Jerusalem; and my heart hath seen much of wisdom and knowledge.DBY — Ecclesiastes 1:16

    17 And I applied my heart to the knowledge of wisdom, and to the knowledge of madness and folly: I perceived that this also is a striving after the wind.DBY — Ecclesiastes 1:17

    18 For in much wisdom is much vexation, and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.DBY — Ecclesiastes 1:18
