4A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth stands forever.

5And the sun rises, and the sun goes down, and hastening to its place, it rises there again.

6Going toward the south and turning toward the north, turning and turning goes the wind; on its circuits the wind returns.

7All the streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow, there they return to flow again.
