The Vanity of Life

1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, ^aking in Jerusalem.

2 “Vanity¹^a of vanities,” says the Preacher;
“Vanity of vanities, ^ball is vanity.”

3 ^aWhat profit has a man from all his labor
In which he¹ toils under the sun?

4 One generation passes away, and another generation comes;
^aBut the earth abides forever.
