Ecclesiastes 1:6
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
The wind blows southward, then turns northward; round and round it swirls, ever returning on its course.
In context
4 Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.
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.
