Ecclesiastes 1:4-11

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁴ ¶ One generation passes away, and another generation comes, but the earth abides for ever.

⁵ The sun arises, and the sun goes down, and with desire returns to his place from which he arises again.

⁶ The wind goes toward the south and turns about unto the north; it whirls about continually, and the wind returns again according to its circuits.

⁷ All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, there they return again.

⁸ All things are full of labour; more than man can express; the eye is not satisfied with seeing nor the ear filled with hearing.

⁹ ¶ The thing that has been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun.

¹⁰ Is there any thing of which it may be said, See, this is new? it has been already of old time which was before us.

¹¹ There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
