Ecclesiastes 1:9 in Context — Ecclesiastes 1

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.

11 Não há lembrança das coisas que já aconteceram; e das coisas que vão acontecer, também delas não haverá lembrança entre aqueles que vierem depois.
