Ecclesiastes 1:6-10

⁶The wind blows south and circles around to the north, always going around along its pathway and coming back again.

⁷All the rivers flow into the sea, but the sea is never full. To the place where the rivers go, there they go again.

⁸Everything becomes wearisome, and no one can explain it. The eye is not satisfied by what it sees, nor is the ear fulfilled by what it hears.

⁹Whatever has been is what will be, and whatever has been done is what will be done. There is nothing new under the sun.

¹⁰Is there anything about which it may be said, 'Look, this is new'? Whatever exists has already existed for a long time, during ages which came long before us.
