Ecclesiastes 1:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 All things are wearisome,[a]
too wearisome for words.
The eye is not satisfied by seeing
nor has the ear enough of hearing.(A)
9 What has been, that will be; what has been done, that will be done. Nothing is new under the sun!(B) 10 Even the thing of which we say, “See, this is new!” has already existed in the ages that preceded us.(C)
