Ecclesiastes 1 · Grade 2

The Preacher

Name Date

Read the Story

Ecclesiastes has the words of the Preacher. He was the son of David and a king in Jerusalem. He wanted to know what life is all about.

He saw that the sun rises and goes down every day. The wind blows south and then north. All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full.

The Preacher said, Vanity of vanities, all is vanity. Vanity means a breath. Many things in life pass away quickly. But God and the earth He made remain. The book ends by saying, Fear God, and keep his commandments (12:13).

Memory Verse

“One generation goes, and another generation comes; but the earth remains forever.”
