TSK · Ecclesiastes 1:13

By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return."

So as to turn your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding;

An unfriendly man pursues selfishness, and defies all sound judgment.

My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.

I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also was a chasing after wind.

For to the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he gives travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him who pleases God. This also is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Then I saw all the labor and achievement that is the envy of a man's neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

I turned around, and my heart sought to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know that wickedness is stupidity, and that foolishness is madness.

When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night sees sleep with his eyes),

Be diligent in these things. Give yourself wholly to them, that your progress may be revealed to all.
