Ecclesiastes 1:8-12

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.

The problem is we don't remember people from the past, and people in the future won't remember those who came before them.

I am the Teacher, and I was king over Israel, reigning from Jerusalem.
