Ecclesiastes 1:4 in Context — Ecclesiastes 1
2 Vanité des vanités, dit l’Ecclésiaste, vanité des vanités, tout est vanité.
3 Quel avantage revient-il à l’homme de toute la peine qu’il se donne sous le soleil?
4 Une génération s’en va, une autre vient, et la terre subsiste toujours.
5 Le soleil se lève, le soleil se couche; il soupire après le lieu d’où il se lève de nouveau.
6 Le vent se dirige vers le midi, tourne vers le nord; puis il tourne encore, et reprend les mêmes circuits.
