'Thing' in the Bible

What is that which hath been? it is that which is, and what is that which hath been done? it is that which is done, and there is not an entirely new thing under the sun.

There is a thing of which one saith: 'See this, it is new!' already it hath been in the ages that were before us!

A crooked thing one is not able to make straight, and a lacking thing is not able to be numbered.

And I have turned, and I see a vain thing under the sun:

Better is the latter end of a thing than its beginning, Better is the patient of spirit, than the haughty of spirit.

Who is as the wise? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? The wisdom of man causeth his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

Be not troubled at his presence, thou mayest go, stand not in an evil thing, for all that he pleaseth he doth.

Whoso is keeping a command knoweth no evil thing, and time and judgment the heart of the wise knoweth.

For every work doth God bring into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether good or bad.'
