Ecclesiastes 1:8

⁶ The wind blows southward, then turns northward; round and round it swirls, ever returning on its course.

⁷ All the rivers flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full; to the place from which the streams come, there again they flow.

All things are wearisome, more than one can describe; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear content with hearing.

⁹ What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.

¹⁰ Is there a case where one can say, “Look, this is new”? It has already existed in the ages before us.
