יֵ֥שׁ דָּבָ֛ר שֶׁיֹּאמַ֥ר רְאֵה־זֶ֖ה חָדָ֣שׁ ה֑וּא כְּבָר֙ הָיָ֣ה לְעֹֽלָמִ֔ים אֲשֶׁ֥ר הָיָ֖ה מִלְּפָנֵֽנוּ׃
Is there a thing whereof it is said: ‘See, this is new’?—it hath been already, in the ages which were before us.
Aramaic Targum to Ecclesiastes
There may be something of which a man says, Behold, this a new thing, but it has been long ago, in the generations which were before us.
