Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)
Yo, el Predicador, fui rey de Israel y viví en Jerusalén. Y en busca de conocimientos me dediqué a investigarlo todo en el universo. Descubrí que la suerte del ser humano, que Dios le ha señalado, no es un camino feliz. Todo es insensatez; todo es perseguir el viento. Lo torcido no puede enderezarse: es agua pasada; y de nada vale soñar con lo que pudiera haber sido.
