Berean Standard Bible

All the rivers flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full; to the place from which the streams come, there again they flow.

All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full. To the place where the rivers flow, there they flow again.

Ecclesiastes 1:5–9 · Berean Standard Bible

5 The sun rises and the sun sets; it hurries back to where it rises.

6 The wind blows southward, then turns northward; round and round it swirls, ever returning on its course.

7 All the rivers flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full; to the place from which the streams come, there again they flow.

8 All things are wearisome, more than one can describe; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear content with hearing.

9 What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
