Ecclesiastes 1:14 in Context — Ecclesiastes 1
12 Moi, l’Ecclésiaste, j’ai été roi d’Israël à Jérusalem.
13 J’ai appliqué mon cœur à rechercher et à sonder par la sagesse tout ce qui se fait sous les cieux: c’est là une occupation pénible, à laquelle Dieu soumet les fils de l’homme.
14 J’ai vu tout ce qui se fait sous le soleil; et voici, tout est vanité et poursuite du vent.
15 Ce qui est courbé ne peut se redresser, et ce qui manque ne peut être compté.
16 J’ai dit en mon cœur: Voici, j’ai grandi et surpassé en sagesse tous ceux qui ont dominé avant moi sur Jérusalem, et mon cœur a vu beaucoup de sagesse et de science.
