Sermons on Ecclesiastes 1

The book opens with the Preacher declaring that all is vanity, as human labor seems unable to produce lasting gain. He observes the repetitive cycles of generations, the sun, the wind, and the waters, and says the eye and ear are never satisfied. He notes that nothing is truly new and that former things are quickly forgotten. Speaking as king in Jerusalem, he describes his search for wisdom and knowledge, concluding that this striving is a grievous task, for increased wisdom brings increased sorrow. Themes include vanity and the limits of human wisdom.
