Ecclesiastes 1:8
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
All things are wearisome, more than one can describe; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear content with hearing.
In context
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.
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.
10 Is there a case where one can say, “Look, this is new”? It has already existed in the ages before us.
