12
I, the Teacher,1 was king over Israel in Jerusalem.213
I devoted myself to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under heaven.3 What a heavy burden God has laid on men!414
I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.515
What is twisted cannot be straightened;6 what is lacking cannot be counted.
