Ecclesiastes 1:7-9

EasyEnglish Bible

⁷ All rivers pour water into the sea, but the sea does not become full.
    The water returns to the rivers and it all happens again.
⁸ Everything continues in the same way.
    There is nothing important to talk about.
Nothing that we see is enough to make us happy.
    There are always more things that we want to hear.
⁹ Things that are happening now will continue to happen in the future.
    What people have done before, other people will do again.
    There is nothing truly new anywhere on the earth.
