切换到福音影视网-新版圣经

  • 1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
  • 2 " Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher, "Vanity of vanities! All is vanity."
  • 3 What advantage does man have in all his work Which he does under the sun?
  • 4 A generation goes and a generation comes, But the earth remains forever.
  • 5 Also, the sun rises and the sun sets; And hastening to its place it rises there again.
  • 6 Blowing toward the south, Then turning toward the north, The wind continues swirling along; And on its circular courses the wind returns.
  • 7 All the rivers flow into the sea, Yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers flow, There they flow again.
  • 8 All things are wearisome; Man is not able to tell it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor is the ear filled with hearing.
  • 9 That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun.
  • 10 Is there anything of which one might say, "See this, it is new"? Already it has existed for ages Which were before us.
  • 11 There is no remembrance of earlier things; And also of the later things which will occur, There will be for them no remembrance Among those who will come later still.
  • 12 I, the Preacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.
  • 13 And I set my mind to seek and explore by wisdom concerning all that has been done under heaven. It is a grievous task which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.
  • 14 I have seen all the works which have been done under the sun, and behold, all is vanity and striving after wind.
  • 15 What is crooked cannot be straightened and what is lacking cannot be counted.
  • 16 I said to myself, "Behold, I have magnified and increased wisdom more than all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my mind has observed a wealth of wisdom and knowledge."
  • 17 And I set my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly; I realized that this also is striving after wind.
  • 18 Because in much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain.
