If you take it to mean human nature and the completely cyclical patterns of human behavior, then it's most certainly correct. That's how I've always interpreted

- davidmathers 17y agoVerse 9 is about behavior: What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again Verse 10 is about things: Is there anything of which one can say, "Look! This is something new"? I think verse 9 is false. Remember one of the ways Solomon got his pleasure: "I bought male and female slaves and had other slaves who were born in my house." That's the only thing I can think of though.
- ahoyhere 17y agoWhy does the case of Solomon's slaves negate verse 9? There has always been slavery, and there is still slavery today, and lots of explicitly sexual slavery too.
