Ecclesiastes 1:4-11
New International Version
4 Generations come and generations go,
but the earth remains forever.(A)
5 The sun rises and the sun sets,
and hurries back to where it rises.(B)
6 The wind blows to the south
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course.
7 All streams flow into the sea,
yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
there they return again.(C)
8 All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,(D)
nor the ear its fill of hearing.
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;(E)
there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one can say,
“Look! This is something new”?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
11 No one remembers the former generations,(F)
and even those yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow them.(G)
Ecclesiastes 6:10
New International Version
10 Whatever exists has already been named,(A)
and what humanity is has been known;
no one can contend
with someone who is stronger.
