11No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.
Wisdom Is Meaningless12I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind!
14I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
