Ecclesiastes Chapter 1 - King James Strong Number Version

1: The words <H1697> of the Preacher, <H6953> the son <H1121> of David, <H1732> king <H4428> in Jerusalem. <H3389>
2: Vanity <H1892> of vanities, <H1892> saith <H0559> the Preacher, <H6953> vanity <H1892> of vanities; <H1892> all [is] vanity. <H1892>
3: What profit <H3504> hath a man <H0120> of all his labour <H5999> which he taketh <H5998> under the sun? <H8121>
4: [One] generation <H1755> passeth away, <H1980> and [another] generation <H1755> cometh: <H0935> but the earth <H0776> abideth <H5975> for ever. <H5769>
5: The sun <H8121> also ariseth, <H2224> and the sun <H8121> goeth down, <H0935> and hasteth <H7602> to his place <H4725> where he arose. <H2224>
6: The wind <H7307> goeth <H1980> toward the south, <H1864> and turneth about <H5437> unto the north; <H6828> it whirleth <H1980> about <H5437> continually, <H5437> and the wind <H7307> returneth again <H7725> according to his circuits. <H5439>
7: All the rivers <H5158> run <H1980> into the sea; <H3220> yet the sea <H3220> [is] not full; <H4392> unto the place <H4725> from whence the rivers <H5158> come, <H1980> thither they return <H7725> again. <H3212>
8: All things <H1697> [are] full of labour; <H3023> man <H0376> cannot <H3808> <H3201> utter <H1696> [it]: the eye <H5869> is not satisfied <H7646> with seeing, <H7200> nor the ear <H0241> filled <H4390> with hearing. <H8085>
9: The thing that hath been, it [is that] which shall be; and that which is done <H6213> [is] that which shall be done: <H6213> and [there is] no new <H2319> [thing] under the sun. <H8121>
10: Is there <H3426> [any] thing <H1697> whereof it may be said, <H0559> See, <H7200> this [is] new? <H2319> it hath been already <H3528> of old time, <H5769> which was before <H6440> us.
11: [There is] no remembrance <H2146> of former <H7223> [things]; neither shall there be [any] remembrance <H2146> of [things] that are to come <H0314> with [those] that shall come after. <H0314>
12: I the Preacher <H6953> was king <H4428> over Israel <H3478> in Jerusalem. <H3389>
13: And I gave <H5414> my heart <H3820> to seek <H1875> and search out <H8446> by wisdom <H2451> concerning all [things] that are done <H6213> under heaven: <H8064> this sore <H7451> travail <H6045> hath God <H0430> given <H5414> to the sons <H1121> of man <H0120> to be exercised <H6031> therewith.
14: I have seen <H7200> all the works <H4639> that are done <H6213> under the sun; <H8121> and, behold, all [is] vanity <H1892> and vexation <H7469> of spirit. <H7307>
15: [That which is] crooked <H5791> cannot <H3808> <H3201> be made straight: <H8626> and that which is wanting <H2642> cannot <H3808> <H3201> be numbered. <H4487>
16: I communed <H1696> with mine own heart, <H3820> saying, <H0559> Lo, I am come to great estate, <H1431> and have gotten more <H3254> wisdom <H2451> than all [they] that have been before <H6440> me in Jerusalem: <H3389> yea, my heart <H3820> had great <H7235> experience <H7200> of wisdom <H2451> and knowledge. <H1847>
17: And I gave <H5414> my heart <H3820> to know <H3045> wisdom, <H2451> and to know <H3045> madness <H1947> and folly: <H5531> I perceived <H3045> that this also <H1571> is vexation <H7475> of spirit. <H7307>
18: For in much <H7230> wisdom <H2451> [is] much <H7230> grief: <H3708> and he that increaseth <H3254> knowledge <H1847> increaseth <H3254> sorrow. <H4341>
