What is it that has existed? The same shall exist in the future. What is it that has been done? The same shall continue to be done. There is nothing new under the sun. (Eccl 1:9)
מַה־שֶּׁהָיָה הוּא שֶׁיִּהְיֶה וּמַה־שֶׁנַּעֲשָׂה הוּא שֶׁיֵּעָשֶׂה וְאֵין כָּל־חָדָשׁ תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ׃
quid est quod fuit ipsum quod futurum est quid est quod factum est ipsum quod fiendum est nihil sub sole novum nec.
τί τὸ γεγονός αὐτὸ τὸ γενησόμενον καὶ τί τὸ πεποιημένον αὐτὸ τὸ ποιηθησόμενον καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν πᾶν πρόσφατον ὑπὸ τὸν ἥλιον.
In his wisdom, Kohelet did not foresee a one, incomprehensible, and previously unheard-of novelty. The incarnation of the Word. After all, Jesus is the one who makes everything new.
