Berean Standard Bible
“What has been will be again, and what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.”
After his opening verdict, the Teacher describes the endless cycles of nature: the sun rising and setting, the wind circling and rivers flowing into a sea that never fills. This verse applies those cycles to human history.

Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)
Todo es indecible fastidio y fatiga. Por más que vemos, jamás nos satisfacemos; por más que oímos, no estamos contentos. La historia es simple repetición. Nada hay realmente nuevo; todo ha sido hecho o dicho antes. ¿Puedes tú indicar algo que sea nuevo? ¿Cómo sabes que no existió ya en remotas edades? No recordamos lo ocurrido en aquellos tiempos antiguos, y en las futuras generaciones nadie recordará lo que hayamos hecho ahora.
