rsv Ecclesiastes:1:4-11 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
A generation goes ,
and a generation comes ,
but the earth remains for ever .
*
The sun rises and the sun goes down ,
and hastens to the place where it rises .
*
The wind blows to the south ,
and goes round to the north ;
round and round goes the wind ,
and on its circuits the wind returns .
*
All streams run to the sea ,
but the sea is not full ;
to the place where the streams flow ,
there they flow again .
*
All things are full of weariness ;
a man cannot utter it ;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing ,
nor the ear filled with hearing .
*
What has been is what will be ,
and what has been done is what will be done ;
and there is nothing new under the sun .
*
Is there a thing of which it is said , "
See ,
this is new "?
It has been already ,
in the ages before us .
*
There is no remembrance of former things ,
nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to happen among those who come after .
