Ecclesiastes 1:9-11

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁹ What has been is what will be,
    and what has been done is what will be done;
    there is nothing new under the sun.
¹⁰ Is there a thing of which it is said,
    ‘See, this is new’?
It has already been,
    in the ages before us.
¹¹ The people of long ago are not remembered,
    nor will there be any remembrance
of people yet to come
    by those who come after them.
