4 Generations come and generations go,

but the earth remains forever.

5 The sun rises and the sun sets;

it hurries back to where it rises.

6 The wind blows southward,

then turns northward;

round and round it swirls,

ever returning on its course.

7 All the rivers flow into the sea,

yet the sea is never full;

to the place from which the streams come,

there again they flow.
