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.
10 Is there anything of which it may be said,
“See, this is new”?
It has already been in ancient times before us.
“See, this is new”?
It has already been in ancient times before us.
11 There is ano remembrance of former things,
Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come
By those who will come after.
Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come
By those who will come after.
