b. King Solomon - Experience of vanity
-「2 傳道者說:虛空的虛空,虛空的虛空,凡事都是虛空。É8 萬事令人厭煩,人不能說盡。眼看,看不飽;耳聽,聽不足。 9 已有的事後必再有;已行的事後必再行。日光之下並無新事。 É14 我見日光之下所做的一切事,都是虛空,都是捕風。É」(傳1:2,8-9,14)
- 2 Ò Vanity of vanities,Ó says the
Preacher; Ò Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.Ó É 8 All things are full
of labor; Man cannot express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor the ear filled with hearing. 9 That which has been is
what will be, That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun... 14 I have seen all the works that are
done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind...
(Ecclesiastes 1:2,
8-9, 14)

are eighty years, Yet their boast is only labor and sorrow; For it is soon cut
off, and we fly away. (Psalm 90:10)
