All (A)streams run to the sea,
    but the sea is not full;
to the place where the streams flow,
    there they flow again.
All things are full of weariness;
    a man cannot utter it;
(B)the eye is not satisfied with seeing,
    nor the ear filled with hearing.
(C)What has been is what will be,
    and what has been done is what will be done,
    and there is nothing new under the sun.

    what has been done will be done again;(C)
    there is nothing new under the sun.
