Ecclesiastes 1:10-12
Legacy Standard Bible
10 Is there anything of which one might say,
“See this, it is new”?
Already it has been for ages
Which were before us.
11 There is (A)no remembrance of [a]earlier things;
And also of the [b]later things which will be,
There will be for them no remembrance
Among those who will come [c]later still.
The Vanity of Wisdom
12 I, the (B)Preacher, have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.

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)
