Ecclesiastes 1:9-11

All Is Vanity

⁹ _l 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 _m already
in the ages before us.
¹¹ There is no _n remembrance of former things, ₁
nor will there be any remembrance
of later things ₂ yet to be
among those who come after.
