9  ^lWhat 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 ^malready

in the ages before us.

11  There is no ⁿremembrance of former things,¹

nor will there be any remembrance

of later things² yet to be

among those who come after.
