Ecclesiastes 1:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ All things^[a] are wearisome,
    more than one can express;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing
    or the ear filled with hearing.^(A)
9 What has been is what will be,
    and what has been done is what will be done;
    there is nothing new under the sun.^(B)
10 Is there a thing of which it is said,
    “See, this is new”?
It has already been
    in the ages before us.
