There are many verses of scripture that I love. I love these verses and I use them to constantly remind me of what is meaningful. Any comments on these verses? What are some of your favorites?
Ecclesiastes 1:1-11
1 The words of the Teacher,[SUP][a][/SUP] son of David, king in Jerusalem:[SUP]2 [/SUP]“Meaningless! Meaningless!”
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”
[SUP]3
[/SUP]What do people gain from all their labors
at which they toil under the sun?
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]The sun rises and the sun sets,
and hurries back to where it rises.
[SUP]6 [/SUP]The wind blows to the south
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course.
[SUP]7 [/SUP]All streams flow into the sea,
yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
there they return again.
[SUP]8 [/SUP]All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,
nor the ear its fill of hearing.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
[SUP]10 [/SUP]Is there anything of which one can say,
“Look! This is something new”?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]No one remembers the former generations,
and even those yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow them.
