Daily Meditation
18 For in much
wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
Today’s Reading
Ecclesiastes
Chapter 1
The words of the
Preacher
1 The words of the
Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. 2 Vanity of vanities, saith the
Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. 3 What profit hath a man of all
his labour which he taketh under the sun? 4 One generation passeth away, and
another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. 5 The sun also
ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. 6 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 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 things are full of
labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear
filled with hearing. 9 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 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 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.
