Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)
Pues, ¿qué obtiene la gente de todo su trabajo? Generaciones vienen y generaciones van y todo sigue igual. Sale el sol y se pone, y en rápido giro vuelve a surgir. Sopla el viento del sur y del norte, aquí y allá, yendo y volviendo, sin ir a ninguna parte. Los ríos desembocan en el mar y este nunca se llena, y el agua vuelve a los ríos y nuevamente fluye hacia el mar.
