Paroles de Ecclesiastes

I the teacher was king over Israel
I devoted myself to study and explore
By wisdom all that is done under heaven
What a heavy burden God has laid on men
I have seen all the things that are done
Under the sun, a chasing after the wind
What is twisted cannot be straightened
What is lacking cannot be counted
I applied myself to the understanding
Of wisdom and also of madness and folly
But I learned that this too
Is a chasing of the wind
What is twisted cannot be straightened
What is lacking cannot be counted
With much wisdom comes much sorrow
The more knowledge the more grief
I denied myself nothing
My eyes desired
I refused my heart no pleasure
My heart took delight in all my work
And this was the reward for my labor
Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done
And what I had toiled to achieve
Everything was a chasing of the wind
The fate of the fool will overtake me
What then do I gain by being wise I the teacher was king over Israel
I devoted myself to study and explore
