1The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

2Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; vanity of vanities, all is vanity.

3What profit hath man of all his labor wherein he laboreth under the sun?

4One generation goeth, and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth for ever.

5The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to its place where it ariseth.
