Ecclesiastes Chapter 1 "Merit does not yield happiness for it is often tried by suffering."

"Vanity of Toil without Profit" Supreme utility and emptiness


4. One generation passes and another comes, but the world forever stays.
-World everlasting, generations die for the next one to come

5. The sun rises and the sun goes down; then it presses on to the place where it rises.
-Wherever I go the sun is up when I am not there darkness falls, but I reside in you

8. ALL speech is labored;
there is nothing man can say
The eye is not satisfied with seeing
nor is the ear filled with hearing.

-every word that comes out of my mouth serves a purpose
-you can never tell me anything that will knock me down
-I can see you through and through
-do not tell me anything go tell someone else

9. What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done.
Nothing is new under the sun.
-GOD'S WILL, WILL BE DONE
-nothing new what has been said will come and will have an end of what is new

10.Even the thing of which we say
"See, this is new!" has already existed in the ages that preceded us.
-What is new has already been told only in modern terms of this time

11. There is no remembrance of the men of old; nor of those to come will there be any remembrance among those who come after them.*
-Those who disobey after given power will fall and not be remembered. The winners shall prevail. Nothing will bring them down. LOYAL AND OBEDIENT THEY ARE.
