Ecclesiastes 1:12KJV

10Is there thing whereof it may be said, See, this new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

11no remembrance of former ; neither shall there be remembrance of that are to come with that shall come after.

12I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

13And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.

14I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all vanity and vexation of spirit.
