Ecclesiastes 1:7-11 New English Translation (NET)

7. All the streams flow into the sea, but the sea is not full,and to the place where the streams flow, there they will flow again.

8. All this monotony is tiresome; no one can bear to describe it:The eye is never satisfied with seeing, nor is the ear ever content with hearing.

9. What exists now is what will be,and what has been done is what will be done;there is nothing truly new on earth.

10. Is there anything about which someone can say, “Look at this! It is new!”?It was already done long ago, before our time.

11. No one remembers the former events,nor will anyone remember the events that are yet to happen;they will not be remembered by the future generations.
