Ecclesiastes 1:3-7

¶What advantage does man have from all his work Which he does under the sun (while earthbound)? One generation goes and another generation comes, But the earth remains forever. [Ps 119:90] Also, the sun rises and the sun sets; And hurries to the place where it rises again. The wind blows toward the south, Then circles toward the north; The wind circles and swirls endlessly, And on its circular course the wind returns. [John 3:8] All the rivers flow into the sea, Yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers flow, There they flow again.
