Ecclesiastes

• Ecclesiastes 1:10
  Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.Is there a case where one can say, “Look, this is new”? It has already existed in the ages before us.
• Ecclesiastes 2:12
  And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.Then I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly; for what more can the king’s successor do than what has already been accomplished?
• Ecclesiastes 2:16
  For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man? as the fool.For there is no lasting remembrance of the wise, just as with the fool, seeing that both will be forgotten in the days to come. Alas, the wise man will die just like the fool!
• Ecclesiastes 3:15
  That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.What exists has already been, and what will be has already been, for God will call to account what has passed.
• Ecclesiastes 4:2
  Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.So I admired the dead, who had already died, above the living, who are still alive.
• Ecclesiastes 6:10
  That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.Whatever exists was named long ago, and what happens to a man is foreknown; but he cannot contend with one stronger than he.
• Ecclesiastes 9:6
  Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, is now perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.Their love, their hate, and their envy have already vanished, and they will never again have a share in all that is done under the sun.
• Ecclesiastes 9:7
  Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God now accepteth thy works.Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a cheerful heart, for God has already approved your works:
