Ecclesiastes 1:1-5

Everything Is Meaningless 1The words of the Teacher, Or the leader of the assembly; also in verses 2 and 12 son of David, king in Jerusalem:

2“Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher. “Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless.”

3What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun?

4Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.

5The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.
