Ecclesiastes 8:14-17

14There isH3426 a vanityH1892 which is doneH6213 upon the earthH776; that there are justH6662 men, to whom it happenethH5060 according to the workH4639 of the wickedH7563; again, there areH3426 wickedH7563 men, to whom it happenethH5060 according to the workH4639 of the righteousH6662: I saidH559 that this alsoH1571 is vanityH1892. 15Then I commendedH7623 mirthH8057, because a manH120 hath no better thingH2896 under the sunH8121, than to eatH398, and to drinkH8354, and to be merryH8055: for that shall abideH3867 with him of his labourH5999 the daysH3117 of his lifeH2416, which GodH430 givethH5414 him under the sunH8121. 16When I appliedH5414 my heartH3820 to knowH3045 wisdomH2451, and to seeH7200 the businessH6045 that is doneH6213 upon the earthH776: (for also there is that neither dayH3117 nor nightH3915 seethH7200 sleepH8142 with his eyesH5869:) 17Then I beheldH7200 all the workH4639 of GodH430, that a manH120 cannotH3201 find outH4672 the workH4639 that is doneH6213 under the sunH8121: becauseH834 thoughH7945 a manH120 may labourH5998 to seek it outH1245, yet he shall not findH4672 it ; yea further; though a wiseH2450 man thinkethH559 to knowH3045 it, yet shall he not be ableH3201 to findH4672 it .
