In context

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

8All things are wearisome, more than one can describe; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear content with hearing.

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

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

11There is no remembrance of those who came before, and those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow after.
