1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
2 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity.
3 What does man gain by all the toilat which he toils under the sun?
4 A generation goes, and a generation comes,but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises, and the sun goes down,and hastens to the place where it rises.
