'Thing' in the Bible

That which has been is that which shall be; and that which has been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

Is there a thing of which it may be said, "Behold, this is new?" It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us.

For that which happens to the sons of men happens to animals. Even one thing happens to them. As the one dies, so the other dies. Yes, they have all one breath; and man has no advantage over the animals: for all is vanity.

Better is the end of a thing than its beginning. The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

Don't be hasty to go out of his presence. Don't persist in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him,

Then I commended mirth, because a man has no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that will accompany him in his labor all the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.

Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to see the sun.

For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it is good, or whether it is evil.
