That which has been is that which will be [again],And that which has been done is that which will be done again.So there is nothing new under the sun.
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
That which has been is that which will be,And that which has been done is that which will be done.So there is nothing new under the sun.
Everything that has ever been will come back again. Everything that has ever been done will be done again. Nothing is new on earth.
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
History merely repeats itself. It has all been done before. Nothing under the sun is truly new.
Arabic
مَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ هُوَ الَّذِي سَيَظَلُّ كَائِناً، وَمَا صُنِعَ هُوَ الَّذِي يَظَلُّ يُصْنَعُ، وَلا شَيْءَ جَدِيدٌ تَحْتَ الشَّمْسِ.
