Ecclesiastes 1:2-8
2“1FutilityH1892 of futilitiesH1892,” saysH559 the PreacherH6953, “FutilityH1892 of futilitiesH1892! AllH3605 is futilityH1892.”
32WhatH4100 advantageH3504 does a personH120 have in allH3605 his workH5999 WhichH7945 he doesH5998 underH8478 the sunH8121?4A generationH1755 goesH1980 and a generationH1755 comesH935, But the 3earthH776 4remainsH5975 foreverH5769.5Also, 5the sunH8121 risesH2224 and the sunH8121 setsH935; And 6hurryingH7602 to its placeH4725 it risesH2224 thereH8033 again.678BlowingH1980 towardH413 the southH1864, Then turningH5437 towardH413 the northH6828, The windH7307 continuesH1980 9swirlingH5437 alongH1980; And on its circularH5439 coursesH5439 the windH7307 returnsH7725.7AllH3605 the riversH5158 10flowH1980 into the seaH3220, Yet the seaH3220 is not fullH4392. To the placeH4725 whereH7945 the riversH5158 11flowH1980, ThereH8033 they 12flowH1980 againH7725.8AllH3605 thingsH1697 are wearisomeH3023; NoH3808 oneH376 canH3201 tellH1696 it. 13The eyeH5869 isH7646 not satisfiedH7646 with seeingH7200, NorH3808 is the earH241 filledH4390 with hearingH8085.
