절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	Nothing Makes Sense When the son of David was king in Jerusalem, he was known to be very wise, and he said:	The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
2	Nothing makes sense! Everything is nonsense. I have seen it all— nothing makes sense!	Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
3	What is there to show for all of our hard work here on this earth?	What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
4	People come, and people go, but still the world never changes.	One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
5	The sun comes up, the sun goes down; it hurries right back to where it started from.	The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
6	The wind blows south, the wind blows north; round and round it blows over and over again.	The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
7	All rivers empty into the sea, but it never spills over; one by one the rivers return to their source.	All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
8	All of life is far more boring than words could ever say. Our eyes and our ears are never satisfied with what we see and hear.	All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
9	Everything that happens has happened before; nothing is new, nothing under the sun.	The thing that hath 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	Someone might say, “Here is something new!” But it happened before, long before we were born.	Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
11	No one who lived in the past is remembered anymore, and everyone yet to be born will be forgotten too.	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	It Is Senseless To Be Wise I said these things when I lived in Jerusalem as king of Israel.	I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13	With all my wisdom I tried to understand everything that happens here on earth. And God has made this so hard for us humans to do.	And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
14	I have seen it all, and everything is just as senseless as chasing the wind.	I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
15	If something is crooked, it can't be made straight; if something isn't there, it can't be counted.	That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
16	I said to myself, “You are by far the wisest person who has ever lived in Jerusalem. You are eager to learn, and you have learned a lot.”	I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
17	Then I decided to find out all I could about wisdom and foolishness. Soon I realized that this too was as senseless as chasing the wind.	And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
18	The more you know, the more you hurt; the more you understand, the more you suffer.	For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
