Ecclesiastes 1:7

5 The sun rises and the sun sets; it hurries back to where it rises.

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

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.

8 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.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
