Ecclesiastes 1:3-7
31What advantage does man have in all his work Which he does under the sun?4A generation goes and a generation comes, But the 2earth 3remains forever.5Also, 4the sun rises and the sun sets; And 5hastening to its place it rises there again.667Blowing toward the south, Then turning toward the north, The wind continues 8swirling along; And on its circular courses the wind returns.7All the rivers 9flow into the sea, Yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers 10flow, There they 11flow again.
