Ecclesiastes 1:4-9

English Standard Version

⁴ A generation goes, and a generation comes,
    but ^(A)the earth remains forever.
^5 (B)The sun rises, and the sun goes down,
    and hastens^[a] to the place where it rises.
^6 (C)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 ^(D)streams run to the sea,
    but the sea is not full;
to the place where the streams flow,
    there they flow again.
⁸ All things are full of weariness;
    a man cannot utter it;
^(E)the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
    nor the ear filled with hearing.
^9 (F)What has been is what will be,
    and what has been done is what will be done,
    and there is nothing new under the sun.
