(A)The sun also rises, and the sun goes down,
And [a]hastens to the place where it arose.
(B)The wind goes toward the south,
And turns around to the north;
The wind whirls about continually,
And comes again on its circuit.
(C)All the rivers run into the sea,
Yet the sea is not full;
To the place from which the rivers come,
There they return again.

    but the sea is not full;
to the place where the streams flow,
    there they flow again.

  1. Ecclesiastes 1:5 Or and returns panting

Solen går upp och solen går ner
    och skyndar sig tillbaka dit där den gick upp.
Vinden blåser åt söder och vänder mot norr,
    fram och tillbaka, om och om igen,
    och återvänder alltid till sin gång.

    men havet blir aldrig fullt,
och dit floderna har runnit förr,
    dit återvänder de igen.
