Ecclesiastes 1:12 in context

  1. 10Is there a thing of which it may be said, “Behold, this is new?” It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us.
  2. 11There is no memory of the former; neither shall there be any memory of the latter that are to come, among those that shall come after.
  3. 12I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
  4. 13I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the sky. It is a heavy burden that God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.
  5. 14I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and behold, all is vanity and a chasing after wind.
