Ecclesiastes 1:7
Douay-Rheims
All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea doth not overflow: unto the place from whence the rivers come, they return, to flow again.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
The way of the sun's return to the East was unknown to the Jews, who made no attempt to explain it. St. Jerome says: '-'The sun, which was given to men to afford them light, daily indicates the destruction of the world, by his rising and setting. After he has dipped his burning wheel in the ocean, he returns by ways unknown to us to the place whence he set out, and having finished his nightly course, he again eagerly issues forth from his chamber."
