Ecclesiastes 1:4-11
4A generationH1755 goesH1980 and a generationH1755 comesH935, But the 1earthH776 2remainsH5975 foreverH5769.5Also, 3the sunH8121 risesH2224 and the sunH8121 setsH935; And 4hasteningH7602 to its placeH4725 it risesH2224 thereH8033 again.656BlowingH1980 towardH413 the southH1864, Then turningH5437 towardH413 the northH6828, The windH7307 continuesH1980 7swirlingH5437 alongH1980; And on its circularH5439 coursesH5439 the windH7307 returnsH7725.7AllH3605 the riversH5158 8flowH1980 into the seaH3220, Yet the seaH3220 is not fullH4392. To the placeH4725 whereH7945 the riversH5158 9flowH1980, ThereH8033 they 10flowH1980 againH7725.8AllH3605 thingsH1697 are wearisomeH3023; ManH376 is not ableH3201 to tellH1696 it. 11The eyeH5869 is not satisfiedH7646 with seeingH7200, NorH3808 is the earH241 filledH4390 with hearingH8085.912That whichH4100H7945 has beenH1961 is that whichH7945 will be, And that whichH4100H7945 has been doneH6213 is that whichH7945 will be doneH6213. So thereH369 is nothingH369H3605 newH2319 underH8478 the sunH8121.10Is thereH3426 anythingH1697 of whichH7945 one might sayH559, “SeeH7200 thisH2088, it is newH2319”? AlreadyH3528 it has existedH1961 for agesH5769 WhichH834 were beforeH4480H6440 us.11ThereH369 is 13noH369 remembranceH2146 of 14earlierH7223 thingsH7223; And alsoH1571 of the 15laterH314 thingsH314 whichH7945 will occurH1961, There will be for them noH3808 remembranceH2146 AmongH5973 those whoH7945 will comeH1961 16laterH314 still.
