Ecclesiastes 1:2-4, 9

Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; vanity of vanities, all is vanity. What profit hath man of all his labor wherein he laboreth under the sun? One generation goeth, and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth for ever.

That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
