5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose.
5 The sun H8121 also ariseth, H2224 and the sun H8121 goeth down, H935 and hasteth H7602 to his place H4725 where he arose. H2224
5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to its place where it ariseth.
5 Also, the sun hath risen, and the sun hath gone in, and unto its place panting it is rising there.
5 The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to its place where it ariseth.
5 The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, and hurries to its place where it rises.
5 The sun comes up and the sun goes down, and goes quickly back to the place where he came up.
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.
