What advantage [is there] to a man in all his labour that he takes under the sun? |
|
1:3
What°
profit°
hath a man°
of all°
his labour°
which he taketh°°°
under°
the sun?° |

A generation goes, and a generation comes: but the earth stands for ever. |

and the sun°
goeth down,°°
and hasteth°°
to°
his place°
where°
he°
arose.°° |

arising there it proceeds southward, and goes round toward the north. The wind goes round and round, and the wind returns to its circuits. |
|
1:6
The wind°
goeth°°
toward°
the south,°
and turneth about°°
unto°
the north;°
it whirleth about°
continually,°°°
and the wind°
returneth again°°

|
1:9
What is that which has been? the very thing which shall be: and what is that which has been done? the very thing which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. |
|
1:9
The thing°
that hath been,°°
it°

new°
[thing] under°

1:12 ¶
I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem. |
|
1:12 ¶
I°
the Preacher°
was°
king°
over°
Israel°
in Jerusalem.° |
|
1:13
And I applied my heart to seek out and examine by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven, for God has given to the sons of men an evil trouble to be troubled therewith. |
|
1:13
And I gave°°°
my heart°
to seek°°
and search out°°
by wisdom°
concerning°
all°
[things] that°
are done°°
under°
heaven:°
this°
sore°
travail°
hath Elohim°
given°°
to the sons°
of man°
to be exercised°°
therewith. |
|
1:14
I beheld all the works that were wrought under the sun; and, beheld, all were vanity and waywardness of spirit. |
|
1:14
I have seen°°°
all°
the works°
that are done°°°
under°
the sun;°
and, behold,°
all°
[is] vanity°
and vexation°
of spirit.° |
|
1:15
That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and deficiency cannot be numbered. |
|

be made straight:°°
and that which is wanting°
cannot°°°
be numbered.°° |
|
1:16
I spoke in my heart, saying, Behold, I am increased, and have acquired wisdom beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem: also I applied my heart to know wisdom and knowledge. |
|
1:16
I°
communed°°
with°
mine own heart,°
saying,°°
Lo,°
I°
am come to great estate,°°
and have gotten°°
more°
wisdom°
than°
all°
[they] that°
have been°
before°
me in°
Jerusalem:°
yea, my heart°
had great°°
experience°°
of wisdom°
and knowledge.° |
|
1:17
And my heart knew much-- wisdom, and knowledge, parables and understanding: I perceived that this also is waywardness of spirit. |
|
1:17
And I gave°°
my heart°
to know°°
wisdom,°
and to know°°
madness°
and folly:°
I perceived°°
that this°°
also°°
is vexation°
of spirit.° |
|
1:18
For in the abundance of wisdom is abundance of knowledge; and he that increases knowledge will increase sorrow. |
|
1:18
For°
in much°
wisdom°
[is] much°
grief:°
and he that increaseth°°
knowledge°
increaseth°°
sorrow.° |
