Ecclesiastes 1:1-5

Here are the words of the Teacher, the king of Jerusalem, David's son.

“Everything passes—it's so temporary! It's all so hard to understand!” says the Teacher.

People come, and people go, but the earth lasts forever!

The sun comes up, and the sun goes down, and then rushes to its place to rise again.
