Ecclesiastes Or the Preacher
CHAPTER 1
Ecclesiastes 1:1
1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Ecclesiastes
1:2
2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 1:3
3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
Ecclesiastes 1:4
4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth
abideth for ever.
Ecclesiastes 1:5
5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where
he arose.
Ecclesiastes 1:6
6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it
whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his
circuits.
Ecclesiastes 1:7
7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from
whence the rivers come, thither they return again. Ecclesiastes 1:8
8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied
with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. Ecclesiastes 1:9
9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done
is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 1:10
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been
already of old time, which was before us. Ecclesiastes 1:11
11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any
remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
Ecclesiastes 1:12
12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem. Ecclesiastes 1:13
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 God given to the sons of man
 to be exercised  therewith. Ecclesiastes 1:14
14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is
vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecclesiastes 1:15
15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting
cannot be numbered.
Ecclesiastes 1:16
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. Ecclesiastes 1:17
17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I
perceived that this also is vexation of spirit. Ecclesiastes 1:18
18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge
increaseth sorrow.
CHAPTER 2
Ecclesiastes 2:1
1 I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore
enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity. Ecclesiastes 2:2
2 I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it? Ecclesiastes 2:3
3 I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart
with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for
the sons  of men,  which they should do  under the heaven  all  the days  of
their life.
Ecclesiastes 2:4
4 I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards:
Ecclesiastes 2:5
5 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kind of
fruits:
Ecclesiastes 2:6
6 I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood that bringeth forth
trees:
Ecclesiastes 2:7
7 I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had
great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem
before me:
Ecclesiastes 2:8
8 I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of
the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the
sons of men, as musical instruments,  and that of all sorts. Ecclesiastes 2:9
9 So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem:
also my wisdom remained with me. Ecclesiastes 2:10
10 And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my
heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour: and this was my
portion of all my labour.
Ecclesiastes 2:11
11 Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour
that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit,
and there was no profit under the sun. Ecclesiastes 2:12
12 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can
the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.
Ecclesiastes 2:13
13 Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
Ecclesiastes 2:14
14 The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I
myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all. Ecclesiastes 2:15
15 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even
to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is
vanity.
Ecclesiastes 2:16
16 For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever;
seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how
dieth the wise man? as the fool.
Ecclesiastes 2:17
17 Therefore I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun is
grievous unto me: for all is vanity and vexation of spirit. Ecclesiastes 2:18
18 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had taken under the sun: because I should
leave it unto the man that shall be after me. Ecclesiastes 2:19
19 And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have
rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shewed
myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity. Ecclesiastes 2:20
20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labour which
I took under the sun.
Ecclesiastes 2:21
21 For there is a man whose labour is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in
equity; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his
portion. This also is vanity and a great  evil. Ecclesiastes 2:22
22 For what hath man of all his labour, and of the vexation of his heart,
wherein he hath laboured under the sun? Ecclesiastes 2:23
23 For all his days are sorrows, and his travail grief; yea, his heart taketh
not rest in the night. This is also vanity. Ecclesiastes 2:24
24 There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and
that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it
was from the hand of God.
Ecclesiastes 2:25
25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I? Ecclesiastes
2:26
26 For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and
joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may
give  to him that is good  before  God.  This also is vanity  and vexation  of
spirit.
CHAPTER 3
Ecclesiastes 3:1
1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the
heaven:
Ecclesiastes 3:2
2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up
that which is planted;
Ecclesiastes 3:3
3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build
up;
Ecclesiastes 3:4
4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
Ecclesiastes 3:5
5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to
embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; Ecclesiastes 3:6
6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
Ecclesiastes 3:7
7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to
speak;
Ecclesiastes 3:8
8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:9
9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? Ecclesiastes
3:10
10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be
exercised in it.
Ecclesiastes 3:11
11 He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world
in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the
beginning  to the end.
Ecclesiastes 3:12
12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do
good in his life.
Ecclesiastes 3:13
13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his
labour, it is the gift of God.
Ecclesiastes 3:14
14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put
to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear
before him.
Ecclesiastes 3:15
15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and
God requireth that which is past. Ecclesiastes 3:16
16 And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was
there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there. Ecclesiastes
3:17
17 I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for
there is a time there for every purpose and for every work. Ecclesiastes 3:18
18 I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God
might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
Ecclesiastes 3:19
19 For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing
befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one
breath; so that a man  hath no preeminence  above a beast:  for all is vanity.
Ecclesiastes 3:20
20 All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Ecclesiastes 3:21
21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast
that goeth downward to the earth? Ecclesiastes 3:22
22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should
rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to
see what shall be after him?
