ثُمَّ عُدْتُ وَرَأَيْتُ بَاطِلاً تَحْتَ الشَّمْسِ:Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.Ecclesiastes 4:7, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
تُشْرِقُ الشَّمْسُ فَتَجْتَمِعُ، وَفِي مَآوِيهَا تَرْبِضُ.The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.Psalms 104:22, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
الآمِرُ الشَّمْسَ فَلاَ تُشْرِقُ، وَيَخْتِمُ عَلَى النُّجُومِ.Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.Job 9:7, Smith & Van Dyke (1865) / KJV
