The thing that has been it is that which shall be;

And that which is done is what shall be done;

and there is no new thing under the sun.

If there any thing where of it may be said - See, this is new,-

It has been already of old time, which was before us.

There is no remembrance of former things

Neither shall there be any remembrance of things

that are to come with those that shall come after.

Ecclesiastes 1,9-11.
