Expanded Bible

Things Never Change

4 ·People live [L A generation goes], and ·people die [L a generation comes],
    but the earth ·continues [endures; remains] forever.
5 The sun rises, the sun sets,
    and then it ·hurries back [L pants] to where it rises again [Ps. 19:5–6].
6 ·The wind [L It] blows to the south;
    it ·blows [L goes around] to the north.
·It blows from one direction and then another [L The wind goes round and round].
    ·Then it turns around and repeats the same pattern, going nowhere [L The wind keeps blowing in circles].

Ecclesiastes 1:4-6
King James Version

4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.

5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.

6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
