The Vanity of Life
1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, aking in Jerusalem.
6 aThe wind goes toward the south,
And turns around to the north;
The wind whirls about continually,
And comes again on its circuit.
And turns around to the north;
The wind whirls about continually,
And comes again on its circuit.
7 aAll the rivers run into the sea,
Yet the sea is not full;
To the place from which the rivers come,
There they return again.
Yet the sea is not full;
To the place from which the rivers come,
There they return again.
8 All things are1 full of labor;
Man cannot express it.
aThe eye is not satisfied with seeing,
Nor the ear filled with hearing.
Man cannot express it.
aThe eye is not satisfied with seeing,
Nor the ear filled with hearing.
9 aThat which has been is what will be,
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun.
That which is done is what will be done,
And there is nothing new under the sun.
