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

“ Meaningless! Everything is meaningless!” says the Teacher.“ Everything is completely meaningless! Nothing has any meaning.”

“ Everything is meaningless,” says the Teacher,“ completely meaningless!”

“ Absolute futility,” says the Teacher.“ Absolute futility. Everything is futile.”

“ Futility of futilities,” says the Preacher,“ Futility of futilities! All is futility.”

“ Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher;“ Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; vanity of vanities, all is vanity.

“ Absolute futility,” says the Teacher.“ Absolute futility. Everything is futile.”

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all[ is] vanity.

“ Futile! Futile!” laments the Teacher,“ Absolutely futile! Everything is futile!”

“ Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher;“ Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”

Man is like a breath; his days are like a passing shadow.

For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of him who subjected it, in hope

Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity.

Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths, and my lifetime is as nothing before you. Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath! SelahSurely a man goes about as a shadow! Surely for nothing they are in turmoil; man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!

He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.

Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.Put no trust in extortion; set no vain hopes on robbery; if riches increase, set not your heart on them.

So I hated life, because what is done under the sun was grievous to me, for all is vanity and a striving after wind.

and who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity.

Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.

For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

For all his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.

one person who has no other, either son or brother, yet there is no end to all his toil, and his eyes are never satisfied with riches, so that he never asks,“ For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?” This also is vanity and an unhappy business.

Then I said in my heart,“ What happens to the fool will happen to me also. Why then have I been so very wise?” And I said in my heart that this also is vanity.

Remove vexation from your heart, and put away pain from your body, for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.

Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man’s envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity.

because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

So if a person lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity.

There was no end of all the people, all of whom he led. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

The more words, the more vanity, and what is the advantage to man?
