- C ii. 5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
- C iii. 6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits.
- C iv. 7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.
- B'. 8 All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

- B'. 10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
- B'. 11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
