Ecclesiastes 01 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Some translations set each line of poetry farther to the right than the rest of the text to make it easier to read. The ULB does this with the poetry in 1:2-11 and 15.
Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
Tone
The tone of this chapter is sad, or depressing. The author believes that everything in life is pointless. The metaphors in this chapter all describe the idea that nothing ever changes. This is also known as "fatalism." (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-explicit and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
