That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 3 of Ecclesiastes. Qohelet asks what benefit a worker gains from his labor and states that God has given humanity a task that cannot be fully grasped. The eternity placed in the human heart contrasts with the inability to understand the entirety of God’s work. The wisdom response is not to solve the mystery, but to recognize that enjoying the good received and accepting the limits of knowledge are part of an ordered life before God.

Was geschieht, das ist zuvor geschehen, und was geschehen wird, ist auch zuvor geschehen; und Gott sucht wieder auf, was vergangen ist.
Aquello que fue, ya es: y lo que ha de ser, fue ya; y Dios restaura lo que pasó.
Lo que es ya fue, y lo que será ya ha sido; Dios busca lo que se ha ido.
Ce qui est a déjà été, et ce qui sera a déjà été, et Dieu ramène ce qui est passé.
Ciò che è stato era già prima, e ciò che ha da essere già è stato; e Iddio ricerca quello che è passato
O que é, já foi; e o que há de ser, também já foi; e Deus pede conta do que passou.
現今的事以前就有了,將來的事也早已有了,並且上帝使已過的事重新再來 。
