One generation passes away, and another generation comes;
(A)But the earth abides forever.
(B)The sun also rises, and the sun goes down,
And [a]hastens to the place where it arose.
(C)The wind goes toward the south,
And turns around to the north;
The wind whirls about continually,
And comes again on its circuit.

    and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
    ever returning on its course.
