Ecclesiastes 1:2-6
2“Futility1 of futilities,” says the Teacher, “futility of futilities! Everything is futile!”
3What does a man gain from all his labor,at which he toils under the sun?4Generations come and generations go,but the earth remains forever.5The sun rises and the sun sets;it hurries back to where it rises.6The wind blows southward,then turns northward;round and round it swirls,ever returning on its course.
Notes
- 1. Ecclesiastes 1:2 Literally vapor or breath; the Hebrew words translated in Ecclesiastes as forms of futile or fleeting can also be translated as vanity or meaningless. ↩
