2 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity.
3 What does man gain by all the toilat which he toils under the sun?
4 A generation goes, and a generation comes,but the earth remains forever.
5 The sun rises, and the sun goes down,and hastens to the place where it rises.
6 The wind blows to the southand goes around to the north;around and around goes the wind,and on its circuits the wind returns.
7 All streams run to the sea,but the sea is not full;to the place where the streams flow,there they flow again.
8 All things are full of weariness;a man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing,nor the ear filled with hearing.
