'Thing' in the Bible

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

Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been long ago, in the ages which were before us.

For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; and man hath no preeminence above the beasts: for all is vanity.

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

Behold, this have I found, saith the Preacher, laying one thing to another, to find out the account;

Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

Be not hasty to go out of his presence; persist not in an evil thing: for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man's heart discerneth time and judgment:

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

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

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