已有的事後必再有； 已行的事後必再行。 日光之下並無新事。 豈有一件事人能指着說這是新的？ 哪知，在我們以前的世代早已有了。 傳道書 1:9-10
Future events will be the same as past events were. What people have done, they will do again. There is nothing that is new anywhere on the earth. We can say, ‘Look! Here is something new.’ But it is not true! It was here already, many years ago. It was here before we were born. We soon forget people who have died. Ecclesiastes 1:9-10
