Ecclesiastes 1:4
2 “Futility of futilities,” says the Teacher, “futility of futilities! Everything is futile!”
3 What does a man gain from all his labor, at which he toils under the sun?
Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises and the sun sets; it hurries back to where it rises.
6 The wind blows southward, then turns northward; round and round it swirls, ever returning on its course.
