Ecclesiastes 1:2-8

2“Vanity of vanities,” says the Preacher; “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.”

3What profit has a man from all his labor In which he toils under the sun?

4One generation passes away, and another generation comes; But the earth abides forever.

5The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, And hastens to the place where it arose.

6The wind goes toward the south, And turns around to the north; The wind whirls about continually, And comes again on its circuit.

7All the rivers run into the sea, Yet the sea is not full; To the place from which the rivers come, There they return again.

8All things are full of labor; Man cannot express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor the ear filled with hearing.
