Ecclesiastes 1:9 Context
7All the riuers runne into the sea, yet the Sea is not full: vnto the place from whence the riuers come, thither they returne againe. 8All things are full of labour, man cannot vtter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the eare filled with hearing. 9The thing that hath beene, it is that which shall be: and that which is done, is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing vnder the sunne. 10Is there any thing, whereof it may be sayd, See, this is new? it hath beene already of olde time, which was before vs. 11There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there bee any remembrance of things that are to come, with those that shall come after.
