Ecclesiastes 1:6-10

The wind blows south, and then turns to the north. Round and round it spins, finally coming full circle.

Streams all flow into the sea, but the sea never becomes full. The streams return to the place from where they came.

Everything just keeps on going. You can't say all there is to say. You can't see all there is to see. You can't hear all there is to hear.

Everything that was will continue to be; everything that has been done will be done again. Nothing new ever happens here.

There's nothing anyone can point to and say, “Look! Here's something new.” In fact it's been around for ages, long before our time.
