Ecclesiastes 1:2-8

2Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities! all is vanity.

3What profit hath man of all his labour wherewith he laboureth under the sun?

4[One] generation passeth away, and [another] generation cometh, but the earth standeth for ever.

5The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to its place where it ariseth.

6The wind goeth towards the south, and turneth about towards the north: it turneth about continually, and the wind returneth again to its circuits.

7All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full: unto the place whither the rivers go, thither they go again.

8All things are full of toil; none can express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
