King James Version
"That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past."
— Ecclesiastes 3:15, King James Version
“That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away. ”
“That which is has been long ago, and that which is to be has been long ago: and God seeks again that which is passed away.”
“Whatever exists now has already been, and whatever will be has already been; for God will seek to do again what has occurred in the past.”
“That which hath been made, the same continueth: the things that shall be, have already been: and God restoreth that which is past.”
“Whatever is has been before, and what is to be is now; because God makes search for the things which are past.”
“That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.”
I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.
I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever: nothing can be put to it, nor any thing taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before him.
That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
And moreover I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that iniquity was there.
I said in mine heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.
I said in mine heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
