Ecclesiastes 1:2-8
2“12VanityH1892 of vanitiesH1892,” saysH559 the PreacherH6953, “3VanityH1892 of vanitiesH1892! AllH3605 is 4vanityH1892.”
35WhatH4100 advantageH3504 does manH120 have in allH3605 his workH5999 WhichH7945 he doesH5998 underH8478 the sunH8121?4A generationH1755 goesH1980 and a generationH1755 comesH935, But the 6earthH776 7remainsH5975 foreverH5769.5Also, 8the sunH8121 risesH2224 and the sunH8121 setsH935; And 9hasteningH7602 to its placeH4725 it risesH2224 thereH8033 again.61011BlowingH1980 towardH413 the southH1864, Then turningH5437 towardH413 the northH6828, The windH7307 continuesH1980 12swirlingH5437 alongH1980; And on its circularH5439 coursesH5439 the windH7307 returnsH7725.7AllH3605 the riversH5158 13flowH1980 into the seaH3220, Yet the seaH3220 is not fullH4392. To the placeH4725 whereH7945 the riversH5158 14flowH1980, ThereH8033 they 15flowH1980 againH7725.8AllH3605 thingsH1697 are wearisomeH3023; ManH376 is not ableH3201 to tellH1696 it. 16The eyeH5869 is not satisfiedH7646 with seeingH7200, NorH3808 is the earH241 filledH4390 with hearingH8085.
