Ecclesiastes 1:9

1:9 What exists now is what will be,

and what has been done is what will be done;

there is nothing truly new on earth.

Ecclesiastes 2:1

Futility of Self-Indulgent Pleasure

I thought to myself,

2:1 “Come now, I will try self-indulgent pleasure to see if it is worthwhile.”

But I found that it also is futile.

Ecclesiastes 3:15

3:15 Whatever exists now has already been, and whatever will be has already been;

for God will seek to do again what has occurred in the past.
