⁵ The sun rises, the sun sets,
    and then it ·hurries back [^Lpants] to where it rises again [Ps. 19:5–6].

⁶ ·The wind [^LIt] blows to the south;
    it ·blows [^Lgoes around] to the north.
·It blows from one direction and then another [^LThe wind goes round and round].
    ·Then it turns around and repeats the same pattern, going nowhere [^LThe wind keeps blowing in circles].

⁷ All the rivers flow to the sea,
    but the sea never becomes full.
    The rivers return to the place from which they flow.

⁹ ·All things continue the way they have been since the beginning [^LWhatever is will be again].
    What has happened will happen again;
    there is nothing new ·here on earth [^Lunder the sun; v. 3].
