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.

That which hath been¹¹¹ is now;ª and that¹ which¹ is to be¹ hath alreadyª been;¹ and Godª requirethª°¹ that which is past.ª°

That which hath beene,¹¹¹ is now:ª and that¹ which¹ is to be,¹ hath alreadieª beene,¹ and Godª requirethª°¹ that which is past.ª°

That which has been is now; and whatever things [are appointed] to be have already been; and God will seek out that which is past.

That which hath been¹¹¹ is now;ª and that¹ which¹ is to be¹ hath alreadyª been;¹ and ´Élöhîm אֱלֹהִיםª requirethª°¹ that which is past.ª°
