Everything is meaningless.”(A)
Ecclesiastes 1:2-5
New American Standard Bible
2 “(A)Futility of futilities,” says the Preacher,
“Futility of futilities! All is futility.”
3 (B)What advantage does a person have in all his work
Which he does under the sun?
4 A generation goes and a generation comes,
But the (C)earth [a]remains forever.
5 Also, (D)the sun rises and the sun sets;
And [b]hurrying to its place it rises there again.
