Ecclesiastes 1:1-5

Ecclesiastes 1:1-5 CSB

The words of the Teacher,  , son of David, king in Jerusalem.  “Absolute futility,” says the Teacher. “Absolute futility. Everything is futile.”  What does a person gain for all his efforts that he labors at under the sun?  A generation goes and a generation comes, but the earth remains forever.  The sun rises and the sun sets; panting, it hurries back to the place  where it rises.
