(Some words not found in UHB: all/each/any/every the,things wearisome not he/it_would_be_able (a)_man to,say not satisfied eye to=see and=not filled ear with,hearing )
“Everything becomes tiring.” Since man is unable to explain these things, it becomes useless to try.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
(Occurrence 0) The eye is not satisfied by what it sees
(Some words not found in UHB: all/each/any/every the,things wearisome not he/it_would_be_able (a)_man to,say not satisfied eye to=see and=not filled ear with,hearing )
Here the “eye” represents the whole person. Alternate translation: “A person is not satisfied by what his eyes see”

(Some words not found in UHB: all/each/any/every the,things wearisome not he/it_would_be_able (a)_man to,say not satisfied eye to=see and=not filled ear with,hearing )
Here the “ear” represents the whole person. Alternate translation: “nor is a person content by what his ears hear”
1:2-11 The Teacher begins by observing that each natural and historical activity is accentuated by its circular repetitive rhythm of coming and going, being and not being. This can lead to the despairing cry that everything is meaningless. The Teacher moves rapidly from subject to subject and finishes this section with the topic he started with, using a literary pattern that mirrors the circularity he describes in nature and in human history.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
