Ecclesiastes 1
- 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 profit has a man of all his labor which he takes under the sun?
- 4 One generation passes away, and another generation comes: but the earth stays for ever.
- 5 The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to his place where he arose.
- 6 The wind goes toward the south, and turns about to the north; it whirls about continually, and the wind returns again according to his circuits.
- 7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; to the place from where the rivers come, thither they return again.
- 8 All things are full of labor; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
- 9 The thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
- 10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it has been already of old time, which was before us.
- 11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after. ¶
- 12 I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
- 13 And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail has God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
- 14 I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
- 15 That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
- 16 I communed with my own heart, saying, See, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yes, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
- 17 And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
- 18 For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow.

American King James Version (akjv - 2.1)
2023-12-27English (en)
American King James Version
Produced by Stone Engelbrite
This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.
I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
