Ecclesiastes 3:15

King James 3 - The Literal Traslation

That which has been, it already is; and that which is to be, it already has been. And God seeks that which is pursued.

See the chapter Copy

And I turned to consider wisdom, and madness, and folly. For what can a man do who comes after the king, when they have already done it?

That which has been, its name already was called, and it is known that he is man; and he is not able to contend with Him who is stronger than he.
