Popular Bible Verses from Ecclesiastes 1

Share

For with much wisdom comes much grief, and whoever keeps increasing knowledge, increases heartache.

What has been is what will be, and what has been done will be done again. There is nothing new under the sun.

All things are wearisome. No one can express them. The eye is never satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

Futile! Futile! says Kohelet. Completely meaningless! Everything is futile! What does a person gain in all his labor that he toils under the sun?

I have seen all the deeds done under the sun; and behold, all is meaningless and chasing after the wind.

A generation comes, and a generation goes, but the earth remains forever.

There is no remembrance for former things, and things yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow.

So I applied my heart to know wisdom as well as to know madness and folly. I learned that this too was pursuit of the wind.
