Ecclesiastes 1:12
King James Version
“I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.”
Context
9The thing that hath been, it which shall be; and that which is done that which shall be done: and no new under the sun.
10Is there thing whereof it may be said, See, this new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
11no remembrance of former neither shall there be remembrance of that are to come with that shall come after.
12I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
14I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all vanity and vexation of spirit.
15crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
