Ecclesiastes 1:10 in Context — Ecclesiastes 1

8 Toutes choses sont en travail au-delà de ce qu’on peut dire; l’œil ne se rassasie pas de voir, et l’oreille ne se lasse pas d’entendre.

9 Ce qui a été, c’est ce qui sera, et ce qui s’est fait, c’est ce qui se fera, il n’y a rien de nouveau sous le soleil.

10 S’il est une chose dont on dise: Vois ceci, c’est nouveau! Cette chose existait déjà dans les siècles qui nous ont précédés.

11 On ne se souvient pas de ce qui est ancien; et ce qui arrivera dans la suite ne laissera pas de souvenir chez ceux qui vivront plus tard.

12 Moi, l’Ecclésiaste, j’ai été roi d’Israël à Jérusalem.
