Ecclesiastes 1:2-8

2“Everything is meaningless,” says the Teacher, “completely meaningless!”

3What do people get for all their hard work under the sun?

4Generations come and generations go, but the earth never changes.

5The sun rises and the sun sets, then hurries around to rise again.

6The wind blows south, and then turns north. Around and around it goes, blowing in circles.

7Rivers run into the sea, but the sea is never full. Then the water returns again to the rivers and flows out again to the sea.

8Everything is wearisome beyond description. No matter how much we see, we are never satisfied. No matter how much we hear, we are not content.
