Ecclesiastes 1:9-12

⁹That which has been is that which shall be, and that which has been done is that which shall be done; and there is no new thing under the sun.

¹⁰Is there a thing of which it may be said, “Behold, this is new?” It has been long ago, in the ages which were before us.

¹¹There is no memory of the former; neither shall there be any memory of the latter that are to come, amongst those that shall come after.

¹²I, Kohelet, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
