There's actually SO MANY quotes and expressions that are themselves quoting the Bible but people misattribute them. Like yeah Abraham Lincoln did say that a house divided against itself cannot stand, but he was quoting someone slightly more famous... you might have heard of him, he's called Jesus.

It goes deeper, Jesus did a lot of riffing off older Hebrew texts, Egyptian and Greek philosophy.

Ecclesiastes 1:9.

What has been will be again, What has been done will be done again, There is nothing new under the sun.
