Ecclesiastes 1:8-10

EasyEnglish Bible

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.
¹⁰ People may say, ‘Look! Here is something new!’
    But really it happened long ago, before we were born.
