Ecclesiastes 1:6
The wind blows southward,
What it says
The wind moves south and north in circling patterns, always returning on its course.
What it is doing
This verse adds the restlessness of the wind to the chapter's pattern of recurrence.
In context
1These are the words of the Teacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem: 2“Futility of futilities,” 3What does a man gain from all his labor, 4Generations come and generations go, 5The sun rises and the sun sets; 6The wind blows southward, 7All the rivers flow into the sea, 8All things are wearisome, 9What has been will be again, 10Is there a case where one can say, 11There is no remembrance
