Ecclesiastes 3:15

The English Standar Version

That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away.[1]

See the chapter Copy

Whatever has come to be has already been named, and it is known what man is, and that he is not able to dispute with one stronger than he.

So I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly. For what can the man do who comes after the king? Only what has already been done.
