Ecclesiastes 1:9-11

Revised Standard Version

⁹ What has been is what will be,
    and what has been done is what will be done;
    and there is nothing new under the sun.
¹⁰ Is there a thing of which it is said,
    “See, this is new”?
It has been already,
    in the ages before us.
¹¹ There is no remembrance of former things,
    nor will there be any remembrance
of later things yet to happen
    among those who come after.
