9 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 already,

in the ages before us.

11 There is no remembrance of former things,

nor will there be any remembrance

of later things yet to happen

among those who come after.
