Ecclesiastes 8:16-17
16WhenH3512 I 1gaveH5414 my heartH3820 to knowH3045 wisdomH2451 and to seeH7200 the taskH6045 whichH834 has been doneH6213 on the earthH776 (evenH1571 thoughH3588 oneH369 should 23neverH369 sleepH7200H8142H5869 dayH3117 or nightH3915),
17and I sawH7200 everyH3605 workH4639 of GodH430, I concluded that 4manH120 cannotH3201H3808 discoverH4672 the workH4639 whichH834 has been doneH6213 underH8478 the sunH8121. Even thoughH7945H834 manH120 should seekH1245 laboriouslyH5998, he will not discoverH4672; and 5thoughH518 the wiseH2450 manH2450 should sayH559, “I knowH3045,” he cannotH3201H3808 discoverH4672.
