Ecclesiastes 1:7-9
International Standard Version
Ecclesiastes 1:7-9
International Standard Version
7 All the rivers flow toward the sea,
but the sea is never full;
then rivers return to the headwaters[a] where they began.
8 Everything is wearisome,
more than man is able to express.
The eye is never satisfied by seeing,
nor the ear by hearing.
9 Whatever has happened, will happen again;
whatever has been done, will be done again.
There is nothing new on earth.

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)

9 What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;(C)
there is nothing new under the sun.
