Ecclesiastes 1:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ All the streams flow into the sea,
    and the sea is never filled up.
And to the place where the streams flow,
    there they continually return to flow.
⁸ All matters are wearisome;
    a man is not able to speak to them.
The eye is not satisfied with what it sees,
    and the ear is not content with what it hears.
⁹ What has been is the same as what will be,
    and what has been done is the same as what will be done;
    there is nothing new under the sun.
