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.

Cross-reference

In Ecclesiastes 1:9, the same cyclical view is stated: what has been is what will be, reinforcing that nothing is new.

In Ecclesiastes 1:10, the same idea that nothing truly new can appear is echoed, as even claimed novelties already existed.

In Ecclesiastes 6:10, this theme of predetermined events is linked to human inability to dispute with God, deepening the sovereignty angle.
