Ecclesiastes 1:4-8

4One generationH1755 passeth awayH1980, and another generationH1755 comethH935: but the earthH776 abidethH5975 for everH5769.

5The sunH8121 also arisethH2224, and the sunH8121 goeth downH935, and hastethH7602 to his placeH4725 where he aroseH2224.1

6The windH7307 goethH1980 toward the southH1864, and turneth aboutH5437 unto the northH6828; it whirleth about continuallyH1980, and the windH7307 returneth againH7725 according to his circuitsH5439.

7All the riversH5158 runH1980 into the seaH3220; yet the seaH3220 is not fullH4392; unto the placeH4725 from whence the riversH5158 comeH1980, thither they returnH7725 againH3212.2

8All thingsH1697 are full of labourH3023; manH376 cannotH3201 utterH1696 it: the eyeH5869 is not satisfiedH7646 with seeingH7200, nor the earH241 filledH4390 with hearingH8085.
