Ecclesiastes - 1:4 Meaning

“One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.”

King James Version (KJV)

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

1:4-8 All things change, and never rest. Man, after all his labour, is no nearer finding rest than the sun, the wind, or the current of the river. His soul will find no rest, if he has it not from God. The senses are soon tired, yet still craving what is untried.

“And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.”
