Whatever has happened, will happen again; whatever has been done, will be done again. There is nothing new on earth.

And whatever my eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labor: and this was my portion of all my labor.

Then I told myself, "Whatever happens to the fool will happen also to me. Therefore what's the point in being so wise?" And I told myself that this also is pointless.

So I hated life, because whatever is done on earth causes me trouble it's all pointless, like chasing after the wind.

I am certain that whatever God does will be for ever. No addition may be made to it, nothing may be taken from it; and God has done it so that man may be in fear before him.

Whatever is has been before, and what is to be is now; because God makes search for the things which are past.

Whatever has been is named already, and it is known that this is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

{Whatever is--it is far beyond comprehension}. Who can discover it?

Be not quick to go from before him. Be not fixed in an evil design, because he does whatever is pleasing to him.

Whatever comes to your hand to do with all your power, do it because there is no work, or thought, or knowledge, or wisdom in the place of the dead to which you are going.

If the clouds are full of rain, they send it down on the earth; and if a tree comes down to the south, or the north, in whatever place it comes down, there it will be.

But even if a man's life is long and he has joy in all his years, let him keep in mind the dark days, because they will be great in number. Whatever may come is to no purpose.
