Ecclesiastes 1:5-12

⁵The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

⁶The wind goeth towards the south, and turneth about to the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to its circuits.

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

⁸All things are full of labor; man cannot utter it : the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

⁹The 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.

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

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

¹²I the preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
