Ecclesiastes 1

  1 G4487 The sayings G1577.2 of an ecclesiastic, G5207 son G* of David, G935 king G* of Israel G1722 in G* Jerusalem.

  2 G3153 Folly G3153 of follies, G2036 said G3588 the G1577.2 ecclesiastic, G3153 folly G3153 of follies; G3588   G3956 all things G3153 are folly.

  3 G5100 What G4050 is abundance G3588 to G444 man G1722 in G3956 all G3449 his trouble G1473   G3739 in which G3449.1 he is troubled G5259 under G3588 the G2246 sun?

  4 G1074 A generation G4198 goes, G2532 and G1074 a generation G2064 comes, G2532 and G3588 the G1093 earth G1519 [²into G3588 ³the G165 ⁴eon G2476 ¹is established].

  5 G2532 And G393 [³rises G3588 ¹the G2246 ²sun], G2532 and G1416 [³goes down G3588 ¹the G2246 ²sun], G2532 and G1519 [²unto G3588   G5117 ³its place G1473   G1670 ¹it draws].

  6 G1473 In its G393 rising G1607 it goes forth G4314 to G3558 the south, G2532 and G2944 it circles G4314 to G1005 the north; G2944 [³circles G2944 ⁵circling G4198 ⁴going G3588 ¹the G4151 ²wind], G2532 and G1909 at G2945 its circuits G1473   G1994 [³returns G3588 ¹the G4151 ²wind].

  7 G3956 All G3588 the G5493 rushing streams G4198 go G1519 into G3588 the G2281 sea, G2532 and G3588 the G2281 sea G3756 is not G1510.2.3   G1705 filled up. G1519 To G3588 the G5117 place G3739 where G3588 the G5493 rushing streams G4198 went, G1563 there G1473 they G1994 shall return G3588   G4198 to go again .

  8 G3956 All G3588   G3056 [²words G1464.1 ¹wearied G3756 ⁴shall not G1410 ⁵be able G435 ³a man] G3588   G2980 to speak; G2532 and G3756 [²shall not G1705 ³be filled up G3788 ¹ the eye] G3588   G3708 to see, G2532 and G3756 [²shall not G4137 ³be filled G3775 ¹ the ear] G575 of G200.2 hearing.

  9 G5100 What G3588 is the thing G1096 taking place? G1473 the same thing as G3588   G1096 shall be taking place. G2532 And G5100 what G3588 is the thing G4160 being done? G1473 the same thing G3588   G4160 that shall be done; G2532 and G3756 there is not G1510.2.3   G3956 anything G4372 newly made G5259 under G3588 the G2246 sun.

  10 G3739 Who G2980 shall speak G2532 and G2046 shall say? G1492 Behold G3778 this G2537 is new! G1510.2.3   G2235 Already G1096 it has happened G1722 in G3588 the G165 eons G3588 to the ones G1096 having taken place G575 from G1715 before G1473 us.

  11 G3756 There is no G1510.2.3   G3420 remembrance G3588 to the G4413 first things; G2532 and G1065 indeed G3588 to the G2078 last things G1096 being, G3756 there will not be G1510.8.3   G1473 a remembrance of them, G3420   G3326 with G3588 the ones G1096 being born G1519 at G3588 the G2078 latter end.

  12 G1473 I G1577.2 an ecclesiastic G1096 became G935 king G1909 over G* Israel G1722 in G* Jerusalem.

  13 G2532 And G1325 I gave G3588   G2588 my heart G1473   G3588   G1567 to inquire G2532 and G3588   G2679.2 to survey G1722 by G3588   G4678 wisdom G4012 concerning G3956 all things G3588   G1096 happening G5259 under G3588 the G3772 heaven. G3754 For G4048.4 [⁴distraction G4190 ³a wicked G1325 ²gave G3588   G2316 ¹God] G3588 to the G5207 sons G3588   G444 of men G3588   G4049 to be distracting G1722   G1473 to him.

  14 G1492 I beheld G4840.2 all G3588 the G4161 actions, G3588 the ones G4160 being done G5259 under G3588 the G2246 sun; G2532 and G2400 behold, G3956 all G3153 was folly G2532 and G4254.1 a resolve G4151 of spirit.

  15 G1294 The thing being perverted G3756 is not G1410 able G3588   G1945.5 to be embellished. G2532 And G5303 deficiency G3756 is not G1410 able G705 to be counted.

  16 G2980 I spoke G1473   G1722 in G2588 my heart G1473   G3588   G3004 to say, G2400 Behold, G1473 I G3170 was magnified, G2532 and G4369 was added G4678 wisdom G1909 over G3956 all G3739 who G1096 came G1715 before G1473 me G1722 in G* Jerusalem. G2532 And G1325 I give G2588 my heart G1473   G3588   G1097 to know G4678 wisdom G2532 and G1108 knowledge.

  17 G2532 And G2588 my heart G1473   G1492 beheld G4183 much G4678 wisdom G2532 and G1108 knowledge, G3850 parables, G2532 and G1989.1 higher knowledge. G1097 [³knew G1473 ²I G3754 ¹For] G2532 even G1065 indeed G3778 this G1510.2.3 is G4254.1 resolve G4151 of spirit.

  18 G3754 For G1722 in G4128 abundance G4678 of wisdom G4128 is abundance G1108 of knowledge; G2532 and G3588 the one G4369 adding G1108 knowledge G4369 shall add G217.3 pain.
