Ecclesiastes 1:2-6 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

2. "Meaningless! Everything is meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Everything is completely meaningless! Nothing has any meaning."

3. What does a man get for all of his work? Why does he work so hard on this earth?

4. People come and people go. But the earth remains forever.

5. The sun rises. Then it sets. And then it hurries back to where it rises.

6. The wind blows to the south. Then it turns to the north. Around and around it goes. It always returns to where it started.
