4 A generation went away, and a generation came: and the earth stood forever.

5 The sun arose and the sun went down, and panted after its place which it arose there.

6 Going to the south and turning round about to the north, it turned round about; the wind turned round about, going, and the wind turned back upon its circuits.

7 All the torrents going into the sea, and the sea not full: to the place the torrents going, there they turn back to go.

8 All words becoming weary; man shall not be able to speak: the eye shall not be satisfied to see, and the ear shall not be filled from hearing.

9 What was, that shall be; and what was done, that shall be done: and not anything new under the sun.

10 Is there a word will be said, See, this is new? This was already to a long time which was before us.

11 No remembrance to former things; and also to the latter things that shall be; to them shall be no remembrance with them which shall be for the latter state.
