Ecclesiastes 1:7-9
Contemporary English Version
7 All rivers empty into the sea,
but it never spills over;
one by one the rivers return
to their source.[a]
8 All of life is far more boring
than words could ever say.
Our eyes and our ears
are never satisfied
with what we see and hear.
9 Everything that happens
has happened before;
nothing is new,
nothing under the sun.
Footnotes
- 1.7 return to their source: Or “flow into the sea.”
