Ecclesiastes 1:10-12
New International Version
10 Is there anything of which one can say,
“Look! This is something new”?
It was here already, long ago;
it was here before our time.
11 No one remembers the former generations,(A)
and even those yet to come
will not be remembered
by those who follow them.(B)
