That which is hath been long ago; and that which is to be hath long ago been: and God seeketh again that which is passed away.

Whatever is has been before, and what is to be is now; because God makes search for the things which are past.

Ο, τι εγεινεν, ηδη ειναι· και ο, τι θελει γεινει, ηδη εγεινε· και ο Θεος ανακαλει τα παρελθοντα.

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