4 A generation goes, and a generation comes,

but *Ps. 104:5;119:90the earth remains forever.

5 *[Ps. 19:4-6]The sun rises, and the sun goes down,

and hastens*1:5 Or and returns panting to the place where it rises.

6 *[ch. 11:5;John 3:8]The wind blows to the south

and goes around to the north;

around and around goes the wind,

and on its circuits the wind returns.

7 All *Ps. 104:8,9streams run to the sea,

but the sea is not full;

to the place where the streams flow,

there they flow again.
