Ecclesiastes 1:3-9

What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun?

A generation goes and a generation comes

but the earth remains forever

The sun rises and the sun goes down

and hastens to the place where it rises.

The wind blows to the south,

and goes round to the north;

round and round goes the wind;

and on its circuits the wind returns.

All streams run to the sea,

but the sea is not full;

to the place where the streams flow

there they flow again.

All things are full of weariness;

a man cannot utter it;

the eye is not satisfied with seeing,

nor the ear filled with hearing.

What has been is what will be

and what has been done is what will be done

and there is nothing new under the sun
