Ecclesiastes 1:7-9

New International Reader's Version

⁷ Every stream flows into the ocean.
    But the ocean never gets full.
The streams return
    to the place they came from.
⁸ All things are tiresome.
    They are more tiresome than anyone can say.
But our eyes never see enough of anything.
    Our ears never hear enough.
⁹ Everything that has ever been will come back again.
    Everything that has ever been done will be done again.
    Nothing is new on earth.
