The Bible (sometimes The Book or Good Book; from Greek (τα) βιβλια, (ta) biblia, (the) books, plural of βιβλιον, biblion, "book", originally a diminutive of βιβλος, biblos, which in turn is derived from βυβλος—byblos, meaning "papyrus", from the ancient Phoenician city of Byblos which exported this writing material), is the classical name for the Hebrew Bible of Judaism or the combination of the Old Testament and New Testament of Christianity ("The Bible" therefore actually refers to at least two different Bibles). It is thus applied to sacred scriptures. Many Christian English speakers refer to the Christian Bible as "the good book". For many people, their Bible is the revealed word of God or an authoritative record of the relationship between God, the world, and humankind. Both Bibles have been the most widely distributed of books. It has also been translated more times, and into more languages, than any other book. The complete Bible, or portions of it, have been translated into more than 2,100 languages. It is said that more than 5 billion copies of the Bible have been sold since 1815, making it the biggest selling book of all-time.

Chapter 1

1: The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

2: Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

3: What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

4: One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

5: The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

6: The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.

7: All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

8: All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

9: The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

10: Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

11: There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

12: I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

13: And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven: this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.

14: I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit.

15: That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

16: I communed with mine own heart, saying, Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me inJerusalem: yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

17: And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.

18: For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.
