Ecclesiastes 1:6-8

New Century Version

⁶ The wind blows to the south;
    it blows to the north.
It blows from one direction and then another.
    Then it turns around and repeats the same pattern, going nowhere.
⁷ All the rivers flow to the sea,
    but the sea never becomes full.
⁸ Everything is boring,
    so boring that you don’t even want to talk about it.
Words come again and again to our ears,
    but we never hear enough,
    nor can we ever really see all we want to see.
