Ecclesiastes 1

4 A generation goes and a generation comes,

but the earth remains forever.  * 1:4 Ps 104:5; 119:90; 1Jn 2:17

5 The sun rises and the sun sets;

panting, it hurries back to the place  * 1:5 Ps 19:6

where it rises.

6 Gusting to the south,

turning to the north,

turning, turning, goes the wind,  * 1:6 Ec 11:5; Jn 3:8

and the wind returns in its cycles.

7 All the streams flow to the sea,

yet the sea is never full;

to the place where the streams flow,

there they flow again.
