Ecclesiastes 1:9-10

1:9 What exists now is what will be,

and what has been done is what will be done;

there is nothing truly new on earth.

1:10 Is there anything about which someone can say, “Look at this! It is new!”?

It was already done long ago, before our time.

Ecclesiastes 7:10

7:10 Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these days?”

for it is not wise to ask that.

Ecclesiastes 10:14

10:14 yet a fool keeps on babbling.

No one knows what will happen;

who can tell him what will happen in the future?
