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.

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.

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.

What is that which hath been? already it is, and that which `is' to be hath already been, and God requireth that which is pursued.

What exists has already been, and what will be has already been, for God will call to account what has passed.
