The thing that hath been, cometh to pass again; and the thing that hath been done, again is done - there is nothing new under the Sun.

The thing that is past, is out of remembrance; Even so the things that are for to come, shall no more be thought upon among them that come after.

Thus I have considered all the things that come to pass under the Sun, and lo, they are all but vanity and vexation of mind.

The thing that hath been, is now; and the thing that is for to come, hath been afore time: for God restoreth again the thing that was past.

Among all things that come to pass under the Sun, this is a mystery, that it happeneth unto all alike. This is the cause also that the hearts of men are full of wickedness, and mad foolishness is in their hearts, as long as they live, until they die.
