Ecclesiastes 1:2-8

2Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. 3What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?

4Onegeneration passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever. 5The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.1 6The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about to the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to its circuits. 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.2 8All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it : the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.
