1 are wearisome,
more than one can express;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing
or the ear filled with hearing.
9 Eccl 2.12; 3.15 What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done;
there is nothing new under the sun.
10Is there a thing of which it is said,
“See, this is new”?
It has already been
in the ages before us.
11The people of long ago are not remembered,
nor will there be any remembrance
of people yet to come
by those who come after them.
The Futility of Seeking Wisdom12I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13v 17; Eccl 3.10I applied my mind to seek and to search out by wisdom all that is done under heaven; it is an unhappy business that God has given to humans to be busy with.
14Eccl 2.11, 17I saw all the deeds that are done under the sun, and see, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.
15 Eccl 7.13 What is crooked cannot be made straight,
and what is lacking cannot be counted.
16 1 Kings 3.12, 13; 4.30; 10.23; Eccl 2.9 I said to myself, “I have acquired great wisdom, surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me, and my mind has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.”
17Eccl 2.3, 12; 7.23, 25And I applied my mind to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a chasing after wind.
18 Eccl 12.12 For in much wisdom is much vexation,
and those who increase knowledge increase sorrow.
