⁴One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh, but the earth standeth for ever. ⁵The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to its place where it ariseth. ⁶The wind goeth towards the south, and turneth about towards the north: it turneth about continually, and the wind returneth again to its circuits. ⁷All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full: unto the place whither the rivers go, thither they go again. ⁸All things are full of toil; none can express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

⁹That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which will be done: and there is nothing new under the sun. ¹⁰Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? It hath been already in the ages which were before us. ¹¹There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be remembrance of things that are to come with those who shall live afterwards.
