Ecclesiastes 1:7-9
GOD’S WORD Translation
7 All streams flow into the sea, but the sea is never full.
The water goes back to the place where the streams began
in order to ⌞start⌟ flowing again.
8 All of these sayings are worn-out phrases. They are more than anyone can express, comprehend, or understand.
9 Whatever has happened before will happen ⌞again⌟. Whatever has been done before will be done ⌞again⌟. There is nothing new under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 1:7-9
New International Version
7 All streams flow into the sea,
yet the sea is never full.
To the place the streams come from,
there they return again.(A)
8 All things are wearisome,
more than one can say.
The eye never has enough of seeing,(B)
nor the ear its fill of hearing.
9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;(C)
there is nothing new under the sun.
