Gusting to the south,
turning to the north,
turning, turning, goes the wind,
and the wind returns in its cycles.
I have seen all the things that are done under the sun and have found everything to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.[fn]
I applied my mind to know wisdom and knowledge, madness and folly; I learned that this too is a pursuit of the wind.
Therefore, I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me. For everything is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
For to the person who is pleasing in his sight, he gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and accumulating in order to give to the one who is pleasing in God’s sight. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
For the fate of the children of Adam and the fate of animals is the same. As one dies, so dies the other; they all have the same breath. People have no advantage over animals since everything is futile.
Who knows if the spirits of the children of Adam go upward and the spirits of animals go downward to the earth?
I saw that all labor and all skillful work is due to one person’s jealousy of another. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.[fn]
There is no limit to all the people who were before them, yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.
This too is a sickening tragedy: exactly as he comes, so he will go. What does the one gain who struggles for the wind?
Better what the eyes see than wandering desire. This too is futile and a pursuit of the wind.[fn]
The end of a matter is better than its beginning;
a patient spirit is better than a proud spirit.
No one has authority over the wind[fn] to restrain it, and there is no authority over the day of death; no one is discharged during battle, and wickedness will not allow those who practice it to escape.
If the ruler’s anger rises against you, don’t leave your post,
for calmness puts great offenses to rest.
One who watches the wind will not sow,
and the one who looks at the clouds will not reap.
Just as you don’t know the path of the wind,
or how bones develop in[fn] the womb of a pregnant woman,
so also you don’t know the work of God who makes everything.
