Old TestamentEcclesiastesThe Eternal Sameness of Things · 1:4–111:4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.1:5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.1:6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.1:7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.1:8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.1:9 The thing that hath 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.1:10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.1:11 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.
