In context

¹⁰Is there a case where one can say, “Look, this is new”? It has already existed in the ages before us.

¹¹There is no remembrance of those who came before, and those yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow after.

¹²I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

¹³And I set my mind to seek and explore by wisdom all that is done under heaven. What a miserable task God has laid upon the sons of men to occupy them!

¹⁴I have seen all the things that are done under the sun, and have found them all to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.
