Ecclesiastes 1:3-11

3 What profit has a man from all his labor In which he toils under the sun?

3 What do people gain from all their labors at which they toil under the sun?

4 One generation passes away, and another generation comes; But the earth abides forever.

4 Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.

5 The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, And hastens to the place where it arose.

5 The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.

6 The wind goes toward the south, And turns around to the north; The wind whirls about continually, And comes again on its circuit.

6 The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course.

7 All the rivers run into the sea, Yet the sea is not full; To the place from which the rivers come, There they return again.

7 All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again.

8 All things are full of labor; Man cannot express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor the ear filled with hearing.

8 All things are wearisome, more than one can say. The eye never has enough of seeing, nor the ear its fill of hearing.

9 That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.

9 What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; 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.

10 Is there anything of which one can say, “Look! This is something new”? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time.

11 There is no remembrance of former things, Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come By those who will come after.

11 No one remembers the former generations, and even those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow them.
