Ecclesiastes 1:8

All Toil Is Profitless And Repetitious

⁷ All the streams flow to the sea,
yet the sea is never full.
The streams are flowing to the place,
and they flow there again.
⁸ All things are wearisome;
man is unable to speak.
The eye is not satisfied by seeing
or the ear filled with hearing.
⁹ What has been is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done;
there is nothing new under the sun.

All Things

Again, I observed all the acts of oppression being done under the sun. Look at the tears of those who are oppressed; they have no one to comfort them. Power is with those who oppress them; they have no one to comfort them.
