    Ecclesiastes 1
    • 1   The words of the preacher, the son of David, king of Jerusalem.
    • 2   Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher, vanity of vanities; all [is] vanity.
    • 3   What profit hath a man of all his labor, which he taketh under the sun?
    • 4   [One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.
    • 5   The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
    • 6   The wind goeth towards the south, and turneth about to the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to its circuits.
    • 7   All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea [is] not full; to the place from whence 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 hath 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 of which it may be said, See, this [is] new? it hath 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 grievous labor hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised with it.
    • 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, Lo, I have come to great estate, and have gained more wisdom than all [they] that have been before me in Jerusalem: and 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 increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

    Webster Bible Electronic Format.
    PUBLIC DOMAIN

    February 1992

    Beginning in July of 1991 the task of placing the Webster Bible text in electronic format began. The original purpose was to provide Larry Pierce, who produces the On-Line Bible program, with a more modern *public domain* text, similar in content and style to the AV but with a grammar that would provide better comprehension in todays English.

    I plan on maintaining an accurate copy of the Webster text. Anyone finding an error should contact me; Anyone desiring to obtain the latest, most correct text, can find it on the Bible Foundation BBS, or can contact me in the following methods:

    I would like to thank the Bible Foundation not only for scanning nearly the entire Webster Bible but for encouraging me to undertake this monumental work; particularly around page 20 when I realized what I had gotten myself into. Special thanks to Jerry Kingery of the Bible Foundation for scanning, and Jerry Hastings for doing some preliminary scan cleaning and making the texts available on the BBS.
