Ecclesiastes 1:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁸ All things^[a] are wearisome;
    more than one can express;
the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
    or the ear filled with hearing.
⁹ What has been is what will be,
    and what has been done is what will be done;
    there is nothing new under the sun.
¹⁰ Is there a thing of which it is said,
    ‘See, this is new’?
It has already been,
    in the ages before us.
