Ecclesiastes 1:3-11 - All Toil Is Profitless And Repetitious

³ What profit hath man of all his labor wherein he laboreth under the sun? ⁴ One generation goeth, and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth for ever. ⁵ The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to its place where it ariseth. ⁶ The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it turneth about continually in its course, and the wind returneth again to its circuits. ⁷ All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; unto the place whither the rivers go, thither they go again. ⁸ All things are full of weariness; man cannot utter it : the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. ⁹ That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. ¹⁰ Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been long ago, in the ages which were before us. ¹¹ There is no remembrance of the former generations ; neither shall there be any remembrance of the latter generations that are to come, among those that shall come after.
