Ecclesiastes 1:8-10

New International Reader's Version

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.
¹⁰ There isn’t anything about which someone can say,
    “Look! Here’s something new.”
It was already here long ago.
    It was here before we were.
