Ecclesiastes 1:1-3

1These are the words of the Teacher,1 the son of David, king in Jerusalem:

2“Futility2 of futilities,”says the Teacher,“futility of futilities!Everything is futile!”
3What does a man gain from all his labor,at which he toils under the sun?
Read all of Ecclesiastes 1

Notes

  1. 1. Ecclesiastes 1:1 Or the Convener or the Preacher or the leader of the assembly; Hebrew Qoheleth is rendered as the Teacher throughout Ecclesiastes. ↩
  2. 2. Ecclesiastes 1:2 Literally vapor or breath; the Hebrew words translated in Ecclesiastes as forms of futile or fleeting can also be translated as vanity or meaningless. ↩
