Ecclesiastes 1:9 in Context — Ecclesiastes 1
7 Los ríos todos van á la mar, y la mar no se hinche; al lugar de donde los ríos vinieron, allí tornan para correr de nuevo.
8 Todas las cosas andan en trabajo [más] que el hombre pueda decir: ni los ojos viendo se hartan de ver, ni los oídos se hinchen de oir.
9 ¿Qué es lo que fué? Lo mismo que será. ¿Qué es lo que ha sido hecho? Lo mismo que se hará: y nada hay nuevo debajo del sol.
10 ¿Hay algo de que se pueda decir: He aquí esto es nuevo? Ya fué en los siglos que nos han precedido.
11 No hay memoria de lo que precedió, ni tampoco de lo que sucederá habrá memoria en los que serán después.
