Todays Daily Devotion: Everything Is Meaningless

Ecclesiastes 1

1 The words of the Teacher,[a] son of David, king in Jerusalem:

2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!” says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!Everything is meaningless.”

3 What do people gain from all their labors
at which they toil under the sun?

4 Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.

5 The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.

6 The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course.

7 All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
there they return again.

8 All things are wearisome, more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing.

9 What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.

10 Is there anything of which one can say,
“Look! This is something new”?
It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time.

11 No one remembers the former generations,
and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.
