Ecclesiastes 1:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ All things are hard: man cannot explain them by word. The eye is not filled with seeing, neither is the ear filled with hearing.

⁹ What is it that hath been? the same thing that shall be. What is it that hath been done? the same that shall be done.

¹⁰ Nothing under the sun is new, neither is any man able to say: Behold this is new: for it hath already gone before in the ages that were before us.
