Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 LITV
(9) That which has been, it is that which shall be. And that which has been done, it is that which will be done. And there is no new thing under the sun. (10) Is there a thing of which one might say, See this, it is new? It has already been for the ages which were before us.

Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 ESV

Ecclesiastes 1:9, 10 NWT
9 That which has come to be, that is what will come to be; and that which has been done, that is what will be done; and so there is nothing new under the sun. 10 Does anything exist of which one may say: "See this; it is new"? It has already had existence for time indefinite; what has come into existence is from time prior to us.

Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 GNB

Ecclesiastes 1:9-10 BBE
(9) That which has been, is that which is to be, and that which has been done, is that which will be done, and there is no new thing under the sun. (10) Is there anything of which men say, See, this is new? It has been in the old time which was before us.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
