RF ECC 1:1 THE SERMONS OF THE PREACHER, THE SON OF DAVID, THE KING, IN JERUSALEM.

Introductory Discourse.
RF ECC 1:2 Lecture 1: On the Pursuit of Knowledge.
VANITY of Vanities! says the Preacher; Vanity of Vanities, all is vanity!
RF ECC 1:3 What remains to a man from all the work that he does under the sun?
RF ECC 1:4 A generation comes, and a generation goes, but the earth endures for ever!
RF ECC 1:5 And the Sun rises, and the Sun sets; and when the breeze of morn arises there he is!
RF ECC 1:6 The Wind travels to the South, and revolves towards the North, travelling in circles; and in its revolutions returns to its place of origin!
RF ECC 1:7 All rivers run to the Sea, but the Sea is not full. To that place from which the rivers came, there they return in due course!
RF ECC 1:8 All language is feeble;—a man cannot utter himself!—The sight is not satiated by seeing; and the ear is not filled by hearing!
RF ECC 1:9 What has been,—that will be; and what has been done, will be done;—for there is nothing new under the sun!
RF ECC 1:10 If it is ever said, "See! This is new!" It has often been in former times that were before us.
RF ECC 1:11 For there is no record of past events, and there will be none of future ones, for them to be remembered by those who are still more future.
RF ECC 1:12 The Pursuit of Knowledge: The Preacher Declares Who He Is.
I the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem,
RF ECC 1:13 and I devoted my mind to investigation, and to scientific Research, over everything that occurs under the skies.—It is a difficult exercise which God has imposed upon the sons of Adam, to develop themselves by it.
RF ECC 1:14 I examined all the things which they produced under the skies, and saw that all was vanity and vexation of spirit!
RF ECC 1:15 The crooked could not be straightened; and the wrong could not be righted.
RF ECC 1:16 So I said to my heart,—and said to myself,—I have enlarged and extended science beyond all who were before me in Jerusalem; and my mind has examined the result of Science, and Knowledge;
RF ECC 1:17 I also gave my mind to the investigation of Science, and the investigation of Madness and Folly. I learnt that their pursuit was feeding on wind!
RF ECC 1:18 Science is a great grief; and whoever increases Knowledge increases sorrow!
