Today’s Word: No One Remembers The Former Generations, & Even Those Yet To Come Will Not Be Remembered By Those Who Follow Them

Ecclesiastes 1

Everything Is Meaningless

1 The words of the Teacher, 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.
