Ecclesiastes 1:4-11
New American Standard Bible
4 A generation goes and a generation comes,
But the (A)earth [a]remains forever.
5 Also, (B)the sun rises and the sun sets;
And [b]hurrying to its place it rises there again.
6 [c](C)Blowing toward the south,
Then turning toward the north,
The wind continues [d]swirling along;
And on its circular courses the wind returns.
7 All the rivers [e]flow into the sea,
Yet the sea is not full.
To the place where the rivers [f]flow,
There they [g]flow again.
8 All things are wearisome;
No one can tell it.
(D)The eye is not satisfied with seeing,
Nor is the ear filled with hearing.
9 (E)What has been, it is what will be,
And what has been done, it is what will be done.
So there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which one might say,
“See this, it is new”?
It has already existed for ages
Which were before us.
11 There is (F)no remembrance of the [h]earlier things,
And of the later things as well, which will occur,
There will be no remembrance of them
Among those who will come later still.

Ecclesiastes 1:4-11
New King James Version
4 One generation passes away, and another generation comes;
(A)But the earth abides forever.
5 (B)The sun also rises, and the sun goes down,
And [a]hastens to the place where it arose.
6 (C)The wind goes toward the south,
And turns around to the north;
The wind whirls about continually,
And comes again on its circuit.
7 (D)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.
8 All things are [b]full of labor;
Man cannot express it.
(E)The eye is not satisfied with seeing,
Nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 (F)That which has been is what will be,
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun.
10 Is there anything of which it may be said,
“See, this is new”?
It has already been in ancient times before us.
11 There is (G)no remembrance of former things,
Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come
By those who will come after.
