Ecclesiastes 3:15

New International Version

Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.

See the chapter Copy

Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom, and also madness and folly. What more can the king’s successor do than what has already been done?

Whatever exists has already been named, and what humanity is has been known; no one can contend with someone who is stronger.
