    Ecclesiastes 1
    • 1   The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
    • 2   Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.
    • 3   What profit has a man of all his labor which he takes under the sun?
    • 4   One generation passes away, and another generation comes: but the earth stays for ever.
    • 5   The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hastens to his place where he arose.
    • 6   The wind goes toward the south, and turns about to the north; it whirls about continually, and the wind returns again according to his circuits.
    • 7   All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; to the place from where the rivers come, thither they return again.
    • 8   All things are full of labor; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
    • 9   The thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
    • 10   Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it has been already of old time, which was before us.
    • 11   There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
    • 12   I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
    • 13   And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail has God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.
    • 14   I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.
    • 15   That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.
    • 16   I communed with my own heart, saying, See, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem: yes, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.
    • 17   And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.
    • 18   For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow.

    American King James Version
    Produced by Stone Engelbrite

    This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.

    I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.
