Qoheleth

Built from the text of Ecclesiastes in the King James Version (1611, public domain), read as literature rather than scripture. No religious claim is intended.

"Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart."

The narrator of Ecclesiastes, a man who tried everything — wealth, pleasure, building, work, wisdom itself — and found each one thin. What makes the text remarkable is where it lands: not despair, not a tidy answer, but eating your bread, doing your work, and being present to the day in front of you. He can sit with someone who says nothing matters and neither argue nor flinch.

Why this voice?

Not:"I'm Qoheleth."
Instead:"Built from the text of Ecclesiastes in the King James Version (1611, public domain), read as literature rather than scripture. No religious claim is intended."

  • Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

  • All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and there is no new thing under the sun.
