Ecclesiastes 8:15-17
15So I commendedH7623 pleasureH8057, for thereH369 isH369 nothingH369 goodH2896 for 1a personH120 underH8478 the sunH8121 exceptH3588H518 to eatH398, drinkH8354, and beH8055 joyfulH8055, and thisH1931 will standH3867 by him in his laborH5999 throughout the daysH3117 of his lifeH2425 whichH834 GodH430 has givenH5414 him underH8478 the sunH8121.
16WhenH3512 I 2devotedH5414 my 3mindH3820 to knowH3045 wisdomH2451 and to seeH7200 the businessH6045 whichH834 has been doneH6213 on the earthH776 (evenH1571 thoughH3588 oneH369 should 45neverH369 sleepH7200H8142H5869 dayH3117 or nightH3915), 17and I sawH7200 everyH3605 workH4639 of GodH430, I concluded that 6oneH120 cannotH3201H3808 discoverH4672 the workH4639 whichH834 has been doneH6213 underH8478 the sunH8121. Even thoughH7945H834 a personH120 laboriouslyH5998 seeksH1245, he will not discoverH4672; and 7evenH1571 ifH518 the wiseH2450 personH2450 claimsH559 to knowH3045, he cannotH3201H3808 discoverH4672.
