The Vanity of Wisdom

12 I the Preacher have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.

27 Behold, this is what I found, says the ^fPreacher, while adding one thing to another to find the scheme of things—

8 ^yVanity¹ of vanities, says the ^zPreacher; all is vanity.

Fear God and Keep His Commandments

9 Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging many ^aproverbs with great care.

10 The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth.
