Ecclesiastes 1:6-8
New Catholic Bible
6 The wind blows southward and then veers to the north,
constantly turning as it repeats its course.
7 All the rivers go to the sea,
and yet the sea never overflows,
for the rivers continue to return
to their place of origin.
8 All things[a] are wearisome
and very difficult to express.
The eyes are not satisfied with seeing
and the ears do not have their fill of hearing.

Ecclesiastes 1:6-8
New International Version
6 The wind blows to the south
and turns to the north;
round and round it goes,
ever returning on its course.
7 All streams flow into the sea,
yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
there they return again.(A)
8 All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,(B)
nor the ear its fill of hearing.
