Ecclesiastes 8:17


Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

I saw every work of God, and that a man is unable to comprehend the work that is done under the sun. Despite his efforts to search it out, he cannot find its meaning; even if the wise man claims to know, he is unable to comprehend.


World English Bible (WEB)

then I saw all the work of God, that man can’t find out the work that is done under the sun, because however much a man labors to seek it out, yet he won’t find it. Yes even though a wise man thinks he can comprehend it, he won’t be able to find it.


Strong's King James

Then I beheld{H7200}{(H8804)} all the work{H4639} of God{H430}, that a man{H120} cannot{H3201}{(H8799)} find out{H4672}{(H8800)} the work{H4639} that is done{H6213}{(H8738)} under the sun{H8121}: because{H834} though{H7945} a man{H120} labour{H5998}{(H8799)} to seek it out{H1245}{(H8763)}, yet he shall not find{H4672}{(H8799)} it; yea further; though a wise{H2450} man think{H559}{(H8799)} to know{H3045}{(H8800)} it, yet shall he not be able{H3201}{(H8799)} to find{H4672}{(H8800)} it.

Young's Literal Translation

then I considered all the work of God, that man is not able to find out the work that hath been done under the sun, because though man labour to seek, yet he doth not find; and even though the wise man speak of knowing he is not able to find.
