Ecclesiastes 1:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ There’s no remembrance of things in the past, nor of things to come in the future. Neither will there be any remembrance among those who come along in the future.

The Teacher’s quest

¹² I am the Teacher. I was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

¹³ I applied my mind to investigate and to explore by wisdom all that happens under heaven. It’s an unhappy obsession that God has given to human beings.
