So I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly. For what can the man do who comes after the king? Only what has already been done.
And I applied my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a striving after wind.
I turned my heart to know and to search out and to seek wisdom and the scheme of things, and to know the wickedness of folly and the foolishness that is madness.
What has been is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done, and there is nothing new under the sun. Is there a thing of which it is said, “See, this is new”? It has been already in the ages before us.
