Ecclesiastes 1:2-8

2VanityH1892 of vanitiesH1892, saith the Preacher; vanityH1892 of vanitiesH1892, all is vanityH1892. 3What profitH3504 hath manH120 of all his laborH5999 wherein he laboreth under the sunH8121? 4One generationH1755 goeth, and another generationH1755 cometh; but the earthH776 abideth for everH5769. 5The sunH8121 also ariseth, and the sunH8121 goeth down, and hasteth to its placeH4725 where it ariseth. 6The windH7307 goeth toward the southH1864, and turneth about unto the northH6828; it turneth about continually in its course, and the windH7307 returneth again to its circuits. 7All the rivers run into the seaH3220, yet the seaH3220 is not fullH4392; unto the placeH4725 whither the rivers goH1980, thither they goH1980 again. 8All thingsH1697 are fullH4390 of weariness; manH376 cannot utter it: the eyeH5869 is not satisfiedH7646 with seeingH7200, nor the earH241 filledH4390 with hearing.
