Ecclesiastes 1:4-11

4[One] generationH1755 passeth away, and [another] generationH1755 cometh, but the earthH776 standeth for everH5769.

5The sunH8121 also riseth, and the sunH8121 goeth down, and hasteth to its placeH4725 where it ariseth.

6The windH7307 goeth towards the southH1864, and turneth about towards the northH6828: it turneth about continually, 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 toil; none can express it. The eyeH5869 is not satisfiedH7646 with seeingH7200, nor the earH241 filledH4390 with hearing.

9That which hath beenH1961 is that which shall beH1961; and that which hath beenH1961 done is that which will beH1961 done: and there is nothingH369 newH2319 under the sunH8121.

10Is there a thingH1697 whereof it may beH1961 saidH559, SeeH7200, this is newH2319? It hath beenH1961 alreadyH3528 in the ages which were before us.

11There is no remembranceH2146 of formerH7223 thingsH7223; neither shall there beH1961 remembranceH2146 of thingsH7223 that are to come with those who shall live afterwards.
