Ecclesiastes 1:4-6
International Standard Version

The Predictability of Life

4 A generation goes,
    a generation comes,
        but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises,
    the sun sets,
        then rushes back to where it arose.
6 The wind blows southward,
    then northward, constantly circulating,
        and the wind comes back again in its courses.

Ecclesiastes 1:4-6
New International Version

4 Generations come and generations go,
    but the earth remains forever.(A)
5 The sun rises and the sun sets,
    and hurries back to where it rises.(B)
6 The wind blows to the south
    and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
    ever returning on its course.
