Ecclesiastes 1:8-10

International Standard Version

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.
¹⁰ Does anything exist about which someone might say,
    “Look at this! Is this new?”
It happened ages ago;
    it existed before we did.
