Ecclesiastes 1:2-6
2“1Futility of futilities,” says the Preacher, “Futility of futilities! All is futility.”
32What advantage does a person have in all his work Which he does under the sun?4A generation goes and a generation comes, But the 3earth 4remains forever.5Also, 5the sun rises and the sun sets; And 6hurrying to its place it rises there again.678Blowing toward the south, Then turning toward the north, The wind continues 9swirling along; And on its circular courses the wind returns.
