Ecclesiastes 1:10

Is there a thing of which it is said,

“See, this is new”?

It has been already

in the ages before us.

Is there anything of which one can say,

“Look! This is something new”?

It was here already, long ago;

it was here before our time.

Can one say about anything,

“Look, this is new”?

It has already existed in the ages before us.

Sometimes people say, “Here is something new!” But actually it is old; nothing is ever truly new.

There is a thing of which it is said, “Look at this! This is new!”

But it already existed in ages past before us.

Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
