NASB | Ecclesiastes 1:9 That which has been is that which will be, And that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the sun. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ecclesiastes 1:9 That which has been is that which will be [again], And that which has been done is that which will be done again. So there is nothing new under the sun. |
Bible Question: has everything that has been done been done before? if not what is being said here? |
Bible Answer: Buf, this verse is part and parcel of the jaded world-view of a disillusioned man, Solomon, who for a time in his life broke fellowship with God, chased after foreign women and foreign gods, and concluded that all is vanity and chasing after the wind. The evil days had come upon him when he had no delight in them (Eccl. 12:1). He had had it all, seen it all, done it all, and concluded "there is nothing new under the sun." He had lost contact with the eternal God, from whom springs the joy and freshness of life itself. --Hank |
