3 ^aWhat profit has a man from all his labor
In which he¹ toils under the sun? ‡

4 One generation passes away, and another generation comes;
^aBut the earth abides forever. ‡

6 ^aThe wind goes toward the south,
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. ‡
