Ecclesiastes 1:8 in Context — Ecclesiastes 1

6 O vento vai ao sul, e rodeia para o norte; continuamente o vento vai rodeando e voltando aos lugares onde circulou.

7 Todos os rios vão para o mar, e contudo o mar não se enche; ao lugar onde os ribeiros correm, para ali eles voltam a correr.

8 Todas [estas] coisas são [tão] cansativas, que ninguém consegue descrever; os olhos não ficam satisfeitos de ver, nem os ouvidos se enchem de ouvir.

9 O que foi, isso será; e o que se fez, isso será feito; de modo que nada há de novo abaixo do sol.

10 Existe algo que se possa dizer: Vê isto, que é novo?Isso já existia nos tempos passados, que foram antes de nós.
