Ecclesiastes 1:7 in Context — Ecclesiastes 1
5 Le soleil se lève, le soleil se couche; il soupire après le lieu d’où il se lève de nouveau.
6 Le vent se dirige vers le midi, tourne vers le nord; puis il tourne encore, et reprend les mêmes circuits.
7 Tous les fleuves vont à la mer, et la mer n’est point remplie; ils continuent à aller vers le lieu où ils se dirigent.
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.
